If it is a TurboTechnics installation as you state, contact John Pearson in the Parts Department of Hughes of Beaconsfield (tel: 01494 672141).
Hughes was the installing Mercedes dealer in the early nineties of the kits.
John has indicated that they still maintain spares for the cars.

The only hoses that may be difficult to obtain from other then Hughes are the blue wrapped hoses from the turbo output to the intercooler as they are molded to shape.

The hose from the intercooler to the intake plenum is 2-1/4" I.D. and the hoses from the air filter assembly to the turbo intake are 2" I.D.
These can be replaced with a general purpose silicone coated fiberglass duct hose (rated -75 Degree F to 500 Degree F.) This type of flexible hose is available in the USA from industrial supply houses for about $11.00 per lineal foot.

thanks for that info

ive emailed TT and hughes but no response as yet

ive got around £1,000 set aside to get all the hoses replaced and get it set up and running correctly

then new wheels and a full respray as silver is an ugly colour

and have my AMG kit taken from GFP 2 to GFP 3 when im having it sprayed

Best to call John Pearson @ Hughes as he sometimes doesn't respond quickly to emails.
TurboTechnics is no longer in the business of providing or supporting spares for their Turbo kits.
Hughes recently was selling off complete new kits for only 1000 pounds sterling !!!

Received mine in the USA last month and now undergoing installation.

I would think the cost of replacement hoses should be under 150 pounds sterling.

Does anyone have an approximate estimate (time and money) for an install and tuning ? Target is a 3.2L M104 motor on a 1993 300CE/320CE.

Sounds like Willow Automotive in Chicago is one dealer.

Thanks - Manuel

Contact Hughes of Beaconsfield in the UK who were the supplying agents of this kit on 0044 1494 672141 and ask for the guy who knows all about the TT system and you should get your answer or at least an idea of how short the con-rods need to be.

the 1st pic i edited out the side indicators and the fuel hatch then forgot to save as a seperate file!

and

any ideas where i can get a new fog light for the amg kit one?

AMG foglights can be bought from any MB dealer but they're not cheap.
The AMG kitted one looks the business by the way.

How did you insure the twin turbo version?

out of all 3 my fav looking is the AMG styled one but it only has 1 electric seat and is 4 speed but the silver one is twin electric and 5 speed

as for insuring it.....im with nowrich union and with 9 points and 2 claims in last 5 years i pay £450ish and i rang them and asked to add the new car and they said no i would need to start a new policy and then would have zero NCD!

but as im not using the silver one as it needs the turbos setting up and new hoses its just on my drive way doing nothing, ive now got the money to send it to o'dells racing and they will give it the once over as they are turbo specalists and mainly do cosworths and rs turbos so they know a garret t2 when they see it

my insurance is up in october but then do i tell them its a TT conversion or say nothing?

If you don't tell them and try to claim they will refuse to pay out. I guess I'll have to get a quote from a specialist insurer.

I spoke to John Pearson this morning. He tells me that modified conrods are not in the kits and Turbo Technics modified the conrods and throttle bodies for them.
So, I rang Turbo Technics and the guy I spoke to said they never actually did anything with the conrods! They removed the con rods, machined the pistons then reassembled. He couldn't remember what they did to the throttle bodies but he will find out. Apparently they get damaged under boost if not modified.
He quoted £200+vat (tax) to machine all six pistons.
Also the exhaust does not come with the Cat so has to be modified to add it.
It is definitely not a simple bolt-on mod.

Now this is getting interesting. I don't recall reading anything about the throttle body other than in the kit there is this part "3408-50 1 Throttle body adapter / Injector assembly". But I'm not a mechanic so not quite sure what this part does. But it sound like I'm going to have to put more money aside for the engine buildup.

E320_Coupe if you do happen to find out anymore info please post. I have made arrangements to get shortened connecting rods. So I find the statement made by the TT guy very interesting.

It's a bolt on, but not so simple !!!!
In the process of having a very experienced shop doing the install.
Close to 50 hours labor already as modifications had to be first figured out then made to the supplied TT parts. !
A high flow cat will be required, but the cost is under $200.00 for a cat with 2 x 2" pipes in and out.

Ive got a spare AMG lamp, drop me a pm with your number and we can sort something out.

Thanks man ....
