I think he's just a ideologue. He seems to have it in his personality. I can't imagine any thread going okay when he has to be right on subjects he has no idea about. It's one thing to be ignorant about one thing, but to be ignorant about everything is just plain stupid.
I am all for a good conversation on these threads and i've never had an issue with anyone on MBWorld ever, for years. But this guy is just ignorant ane frankly an a*sshole. No one will call me a moron blatantly when he's the one who's clueless about almost everything. If he believes that putting 89 octane once will carbon up my engine to the point of it failing and then calling me a moron for it after i called him out, he's got another thing coming for him. I will not stand for that.

<== trying to figure out what the engine (regardless of M257 or M177 or X) has to do with turbo except for the oil supply...

Btw one thing about turbos

Ball bearing turbos will outlast a bushing turbo by a wide margin. Unfortunately like most OEM, MB does not release the turbo specs (AR sizing, redline rpms, cfm etc).

Since the turbos are integrated with the exhaust manifolds, there's not much choice over factory turbos. Weistec Engineering does offer a modification of the existing housing and installs a compressor wheel for the M276 3.0 biturbo engine, claiming to add up to 212 hp. Not sure what other mods are required, but not something I'd do.
