Performance boost
Just picked up a great SL600 with 88k miles. What should I do to get the most out of the performance of this ? Plan on tuning it with ECU and TCU . Plugs ? Cheaper options ? KN filter ? Thanks. !

Have you tried running the late model 65 turbo's? Word is they may be the same as the SL65 Black turbos?
