Your car is far less wurth wit hthis kit than without.

If you go for a realy reseller value you should bay a AMG or BRABUS converted car instead.
And even then your reseller value of the car isnīt even close to the difference you would expect

Here in Denmark the BRABUS was 25% more expencive than the other mercs in same condition. and it costed almost 50% more at the time it was sold.
So i think even talking about reseller value is stupid for this Turbo W124 model wich wassent a stock or a factory sold mercedes Option.
Only the 500E AMGīs and BRABUS has a bit of better reseller value.

If you modifi your car with turbo there isnīt such thing as a Ricer, but i will deffently agree with his look of the car, witch was not the subject of the topic.

He uses Ricer Exhaust ends, but that is up to you what you will put on your car.
Driving with the stock system is just plain stupid if you want that turbo to breath nad get some boost.
But again you are saticfied with the the low boost so why upgrade right.

Where are all thouse cars drivin thousens of miles with this turbo kit you got??? and why not, they only produce around 100 HP ekstra on a engine that is from scratch a under powered engine. M103 3000CCM and only producing 180 HP ??? no wonder why it can take another 100 without getting to pushed.

And yes you where comparing your self with the 500E, as you said you would be proud to put yor car next to a 500E (ring a bell)
Yes i started to compare with the 500E because my car as it is still can keep up and get away from it anyday, without a turbo and still keep my reseeler value.
Your knowledge of Mercs is seriously lacking.
The 500E is not an AMG creation it was a Porsche/MB collaboration.
The E60 was AMG.
AMG, Brabus and let's include Lorinser and even Renntech were not factory installed options.
They produced "kits" that were added to the factory supplied vehicle.
AMG eventually was purchased by MB as the in-house tuner of choice.

If you want boost then build a 1 bar+ engine....but how long will it last ???

How much will your install cost??

Good luck !
