Taking a 6 cyl ML to supercharge is not a smart thing to do. Does not make any sense. For what it will cost you can purchase a V8 and get lots of power with no fuss or loss of reliability.

Well i have a 430 hp v-6 Camaro, and the benz is for a friend, i am pretty sure you could mildly turbo the motor and get some power out of it. The money is not a thing to him he just wants something custom. So thank you for the input, but still lookin for a turbo set up if i can find one =0)

I havent heard of any aftermarket specific kits for the ML (doesnt mean they dont exist)but you may be able adapt a twin turbo kit to make it work if you are going the custom route and money isnt the main consideration as it wont be cheap. These kits are available for many applications and locate the turbos under the vehicle and have a front mounted intercooler. I dont think supercharging is an option

I'll poke around but the folks who make the twin turbo kit for the corvette might have something that could be adapted.A search for ''aftermarket twin turbo kits'' will render several good places to start.Also you can send in the ECM unit in to a few MB specialty shops that advertise on the sites here and pick up alot of hp and i also think they can rework the tranny shifting and t/c lockup etc.

I thought the 320 was already turbo. The turbo should be on the back of the intake close to the heatshield on the firewall.

An '06 ML320 is a diesel and is turbocharged.

A gasoline '06 ML is an ML350 and is naturally aspirated.
