Yea Eric, I am on TB. Same name there as here.

The 300E is new territory for me, as is Mercedes in general. I wanted a 190E simply because it is a small car with potential.

However I couldn't pass up a $400 300E that runs and most everything works. I had some minor electrical issues and a busted window but those have been sorted for the most part. I'm still learning all the numbers and combos for this car.

So it sound like turbocharging is the way to go? Could someone be kind enough to point me to a build thread?
