I'm starting this thread to house all the information related to the Turbo Technics kit I have purchased for my 3.2L M104 engine. I will start by transcribing the parts list, installation instructions and magazine reviews that were faxed to me by Mercedes of Beaconsfield.
For those interested, this dealership in the UK is selling brand new conversion kits for 3.0L M103, 3.0L M104 and 3.2L M104 engines.
A total of 50 conversions were performed by the dealership using these kits and a further 25 kits were made to be sold for 3rd party conversion. Of the 75 total kits, approximately 25 were made for each engine. As of this posting date, kits are still available for all three engines. The price is £1000 per kit. You will either need to pick up the kit yourself or have a courier collect it as the dealership will not organize shipping for you.
If you are interested in purchasing a kit, speak to John Pearson
j.pearson@hughes-group.net or phone +44 01494 672141 (he doesn't check his email that often).
