I have a 97 E320 turbo . While the M112 v6 is a lot different than the M104 I6 I have, I can help you.

Sounds good! I was thinking of a turbo as well. Did you have to modify any of the computers or other electronics?

I only added electronics and that would be an AEM FIC-6 it can control your o2 sensors, fueling +/- 100%, timing retard and the MAF all for $365. I have used it on m113's, my m104 and a load of other engines so it will work on your m112.

I like that! Do you have final pictures? I'm curious to see how the turbo was fitted. I also like the intercooler you go there. By the way are you using the same tranny?

I was trying to figure out what that picture had to do with your sleeper project. Nothing, I guess . . . I like the topiary!

I guess I should change it with a picture of the soon to be sleeper! Has anyone seen a picture of a W210 with the Mercedes 162 wheels? I'm looking to get those for my rig staggered. Any feedback? Here is a link for the wheels.

Those don't look all that great on w210's. There are a few w210's with those on them on mbworld.org and benzworld.org.

These look amazing on w210's and they are all at least 8/9 staggered:
18 AMG Monoblock's Ver. 2 but Ver. 1 looks even better.

19 Cl63 style AMG replica wheels:

Mandrus 19's, odd but he rocks it well.



The SL 22 spokes look great too

I think the SLK 18 spokes I have look pretty good as well

Here is what I decided to go with; a friend owed me some money so I got these instead they had new tires too. Hey I saw your pictures on how you put that baby together on line when I was looking for Turbo’s. I also saw when you were test driving it, that thing is sweeeat.
