I have zero ideas of what was done to your car. But, as a rule of thumb following mercedes service instructions gives great results.
Did you send the crank out to a aircraft service facility???? They don't do hard-chroming for the reasons I've stated. At one time in the past, they did use a process called "chromite" which uses chrome, but does not have the negative effects of hard-chroming. Doesn't have the positive effects of nitrating...
Not sure what you had with an aftermarket turbo and no oil cooling pistons like the factory?? Seen those setups on 240's but they don't tend to last. Did you put a turbo IP and ALDA setup on the car?

(a) Why in the hell would I send a crank to an AA certified shop to have my machine work done ? ? ?
(b) The company that I use GUARANTEES a 15-N 82 ROCKWELL INDEX which is IDEAL for such applications ! ! !
(c) I had my pump shop build a pump with a FAT lower mid-range curve to keep from torching the pre-chambers, which they supplied me with shims to DIAL-IN the ENRICHMENT via the ANEROID COMPENSATOR . . .
(d) It's run on a STEADY diet of TORCO 15w40 SYNTHETIC DIESEL OIL which is changed RELIGIOUSLY every 25,000 Miles and a FILTER ONLY change every 6250 miles . . .
ALL that with a 3000 RPM STALL CONVERTER . . . FAAAAAAST ! ! !
