RE: AMG Conversion

What country do you live in and what is your budget? I know someone who had intentions of boosting power in his W124 and by the time he was done, he could have bought a used 500E that was nicer looking car, had more performance, more options, and a real resale value. He lost so much $$$$$. Believe me, he tuned a decent car, but alas not half as good as Porsche/Mercedes [;)]

I have a 1992 230E (2.3lt 16V)
Really? I thought the 230 was 8v.

There's a shop in the UK that supercharges and turbos W124's. I can't find the link for you hopefully one of the other board members can.

I have to say I agree with Lino...For the money you'll waste turbocharging a 2.3ltr 8v engine you could buy an E500, SL500 or M3evo.

Clean it up, sell it and buy something else.

RE: AMG Conversion

If you want more power definatly forget superchargers etc, and go for the real thing 500E (V8 32 Valve) you won't regret it !
