Wrong again...turbo M103 with KE-Jetronic III works very well...
Proof is that there are many still in service and as I posted will run mid 5 second 0-60 and high 13 second 1/4 mile with .4-.5 bar fixed boost.
So in your mind that's "never work well" ????

But let me se, your are writning that the Kit was designed to have an factory look basickly they comprimized the system for the benifits of the look. Gee i think that line tells it all.

Nothing was compromised, it was designed for factory look along with factory performance and most importantly durability.
A Mercedes dealer wouldn't use any kit or install that is one off and offer a warranty would they ? 
Its good to hear your are happy with your Comprimized Value Kit for the benifits of the look.
i guess your car must blast the reseller marked when you deside to sell the car some day
The kit has "provenance" and will have a much higher value then someone who creates something in their garage.
I'm not sure of your knowledge of the specialty car market, but vehicles with modifications that were common to the era tend to be more desirable then a "one off" home made attempt.

It dosent matter where or who the Conversion kits are sold fore or to.
What matters is the reputaion of the parts inkluded and the meknics who are getting the job done.

TurboTechnics is a very large company still in existence.
They no longer produce turbo kits but manufacture equipment to rebuild turbos.
They also represent the major global makers of turbos.
The reputation far exceeds your Swedish "expert".
Foolish to conclude otherwise.

Witch my friend in Sweden has in dobbelt.
Even Americans travel with there car to Sweden for getting there Car Turbo Conversioned.

How many installs does has your "expert" performed that have lasted over fifteen years and traveled 150K + miles?

So it was only to inform you that the Turbotechnics are old stuff with comprimized components (Value Kit if you aks me)
|
Remember the M103/M104 is also old stuff...
Is your " expert " the one with the metallic blue sedan with a graphic on the side.
Perhaps he makes modern power but the vehicle is in the "ricer" class and not worth much to anyone who is a true Mercedes enthusiast.

And why be satisfied with smiling to a 500E when itīs posible to tag along with the new E500. (The old 500E isnīt that sceamingly fast to our days standarts)

You mentioned the 500E peformance, not me !!!

I was just amazed over the Turbotechnics are using pigybag instead of applying a complete new system with new injectors and intake and ignition system.
The pigybag is running to rich mixture at low rpms. and to lean in the high rpms.
|
Why reinvent the wheel?
The piggyback system allows for the engine to run in a normal mode and conforming to any emissions standard requirements.
It comes into place upon boost.
My Split Second piggyback control is 3D mappable throughout the full RPM range.
Programmed with a lap top and AFR's were set to optimum on a dyno.
So again you speak of that which you have no knowledge of !!!

Why would a profesionel built a system that are builting on another system, and try to get them to work together.
|
Why not...because it doesn't compromise the OEM systems and maintains integrity and value of the vehicle.
Quote:
It gives only sense when the system and quality hast to be comprimize for the cost.
Sure itīs cheap but then, thats what you get a cheap working system.
|
You equate modifying something that has no reason to be modified as the correct path.
You have no concept of cost effectiveness.
Why redo a whole system when the original control with a piggyback control is more then adequate to operate at .4-.5 bar boost?
