http://gasmas.ath.cx/200e%20turbo%20gianis.html

He tuned some Mercedes`and i decided to visit him.
We had a nice talk and he analyzed me a kind of technical issues about Mercedes performance and tuning.
He asked me about 25K EURO (~39K $) to turbo my W209 (about 450-500ps)

Nice work. I was going to say that 39k was alot and quite frankly it still is but i see that he did alot of work. Did he lower the compressions or are they the same.

For that money you could have bought a new Mercedes in the USA. I guess car taxes are much higher in parts of Europe.
