I am looking for advice, help, condolences whatever on my efforts to supercharge my 1997 190E 2.3-16. I am heading in the supercharger direction because I wanted to improve bottom end torque more than top end horsepower. I have acquired a supercharger off of a 1999 SLK 230 kompressor and am now in the process of trying to figure how to install it and the other components necessary to make it work effectively.

From my reading, I need a by-pass valve. The original bypass valve was computer controlled, I am looking for a vacuum controlled valve.

One of my concerns is about the fuel injection system. Does it need to be modified? I believe Clinton (I think) posted that he installed a Mosselman unit to his computer. I have not been able to find any information on this unit, is it needed? Where is it available?

Has anyone already installed an Eaton supercharger on a 190E?
