- 2003 C270 CDI Wagon
Evening all - I'm now about 4 months back into Mercedes ownership - I sold my W208 a couple years ago but needing something a bit more economic, comfy and practical than my old MG I've got myself a 2003 W203 wagon, C270 CDi.
I plan to get a bit more power out of it, and although was initially only planning some basic breathing mods (decat exhaust, air filter, maybe losing a silencer) and a remap, I've started looking at a few more drastic measures.
I've read that the turbo from a W210 E320 CDi should be a straight swap - is this the case? I keep seeing GT2359V mentioned but can only seem to find GT23V's for sale - what's the difference and is the GT23V still a straight-swap upgrade?
Also what other cost-effective mods should I consider to take advantage of a turbo upgrade and remap?
Cheers
Ben
