Turbo ML?

Ok, well im new to MBWorld so hello.......I have a 98 ML, im planning on building a custom turbo kit for it to push maybe 5-6 psi of boost....I have everything figured out already except: Who does dyno tuning on Mercedes? I need to figure out how to bump my fuel delivery also....Maybe an inline fuel pump? Maybe custom injectors? All this will have no effect without proper dyno tuning....Any suggestions will be great....

i believe there was a turbocharged ML running around on this board a while ago, he sold it though. Where are you located and that would aid us in telling you where to go... and you need to lower that BTW the white is cool and all but not when you have monsterous wheel gap

Yea, I just took off the 22's....They are for sale by the way....$2k....But im trying to find a good deal on some h&r's....The ml was actually airbagged last summer, and i took it all out because the shop who made the system could not get it right, so off it came....I think a turbo set up would be the tip of the ice-burg, i saw the guy with the turboed ml on here and sent him a message....Havent heard from him yet, though....Oh yea, i live in sacramento, ca......

PM Brad(Evo Sport) directly from this site... He is the owner of MBworld... He will get back to you ASAP

Grunt Im not saying the roof racks were the reason it looked like a minivan
my ML without roof rack would look similar to this one...


While Im not making my ML identical to it, I like the look of no roof rack
