Thanks to everyone for the help in locating a 16V ECU. As luck would have it someone who wanted parts from me had an extra ECU, so we did a trade. I have already sent the ECU, with some of my MB manuals to Jim Conforti. But I still need some help, maybe. The rev limiter for the 16V (US is 6800 rpm, Euro is 7200 rpm) is controlled by the fuel pump relay. I am not sure if Jim Conforti can remove the rev limiter with the ECU alone, so he might need a fuel pump relay. I don't know if this will be needed but I would like to go ahead and locate one just in case it is. What I need is a fuel pump relay from a 16V; Euro or US version will be fine. The one requirement is that it come from a car that has a manual transmission, the automatics are different. This basically kills any chance of me finding one out of a standard wrecked 190 (since they are mostly automatics). So if anyone can locate this fuel pump relay for me I would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.
FYI: I feel a removed rev limiter would be very beneficial since the 16V pulls very strong all the way to redline. There is more power to be had. Plus the engine was tested to 11,000 rpm's! So I know it can handle a little more than 6800.
