Hello all,
I am planning on installing a turbocharger on my 300E this summer and would love to have a little guidance from the boost experts here. What i am looking to get is about 4-6psi boost, which is adjustable, out of a single turbocharger feeding pressure before the air flow meter and the throttle body (to keep things simple). Most importantly, I am looking for no drivability issues. I want to be able to use the car as a daily driver with no problems caused by the turbocharger. Now the questions: Can it be done? Can or should i run all six exaust banks into one turbo? Is it feasible/safe/economical to run pressure pre air flow plate? What size or kind of turbo should i run? do i need to use a blowoff valve to reduce lag? How is a leakdown test preformed? Is there any other place i can put the oil return line other than the oil pan? What kind of fuel enrichment is recommended for my parameters? Your comments Will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Adam
