Actros,

If you're just looking to have a supercharger as a substitute for the stock turbo, the M90 will suffice. It will give you instant throttle response and snappier acceleration. But, as the others said, there's a lot of welding and fabrication involved in making a clean installation. This is in addition to the base cost of the SC. As I said, I got mine for about $140 including shipping but I really lucked out because at the time, nobody wanted that particular SC. Now I see them going for a couple hundred bucks.

Unless you have your heart set on the SC, I think a VGT is a much more parctical upgrade. There are already guys here who have done them and can help you along.
