Many thanks
Hughes of Beaconsfield ( telephone: 01494 672141 ), ask for John Pearson in the parts department.
Not sure what kits are still available, but the 1000 ponds sterling (+ VAT if you are in the U.K.) is correct.
It also includes a complete large bore (twin 2" pipes) stainless steel exhaust system.

Install being done by Willow Automotive in Chicago.
Hope to be complete by the end of the week.
Then the long wait for FedEx to pick the car up and bring it home !!!
I would leave the trans alone until it plays up. you would be surprised how strong mercedes driveline components are! If and when you needed to replace the trans, a unit from a 400e would definitely suffice. the trans for 400 and 500e is sourced from the S-class and is also essentially the same box behind the mighty 600SEL! A car with something like 390lb.ft of torque.
The tranny for the M119 engine (400E & 500E) will NOT bolt-up to a M104/M104 block.

Install complete, much quicker then I expected.
Drove about 250 miles so far and today installed a G-TECH SS to get some performance figures.
As soon as I find some open road, I'll do a few launches and post the results !!!
Suspension well balanced using H&R sport lowering springs (1.5" drop), Bilstein HD's and Sportline front and rear sways.
Zimmerman drilled rotors and Textar pads.
Replacing the supplied coil hoses with modern silicone and ss tube.
Waiting for a silicon elbow to complete the turbo intake side.
Supplied piggyback electronics for the additional injectors was non adjustable, ran 17.5 AFR under boost and compensated by retarding ignition.
Replaced with a Split Second 3D mappable via laptop controller and AFR's are 12.5 under boost.

Local track cancelled the last three Sunday "test and tune" sessions because of either rain or high winds.
This Sunday they officially open and I'll try to get there and hope for at least 2-3 runs.
I'd be ecstatic with a high thirteen and about 100MPH trap speed.
More interested in the trap speed as I'm not sure how it will hook up off the line.
Sunday should be high 40's, low 50's and low humidity which is ideal turbo weather.
