W124 Engines

The m117, m103, m104 and m119. WHat is the horsepower and torque rateing for each of these motors. For instance the m103 3,6liter rated at 272hp and i think 280torque. How much would a twin turbo yield in both hp and torque to a m103 3.0 and then an m103 3.6 twin turbo. And that goes the same with the hammer m117 the 400e and 500e m119 and the m104 3.2. I read somewhere that the CLK-DTM'S used the hammer motor, the only difference was that it had a twin turbo. If a supra can produce 1200hp from a twin turbo straight six 3.4 liter motor 24 valve, with around 276 hp and torque, the bmw m3 can get 300 to 800hp with either a twin turbo or a supercharger and a porsche can crank out anything from 300 to 800hp with the same style engine, as the merces bimmers, supras and Porsches how come the mercs cant do it. A 1200hp complete supra twin turbo engine will cost around 30 grand. How come nobody has tried to do the same with the merc straight six engines. For goodness sakes there is a hell ouf alot of room the m103 engine for two large turbos. Someone help me and respond, cause i dont understand why this hasn't been achieved yet.
