Hi guys!
I have a W202 C220cdi with a turbo that has seen better days. It will need replacement sometime soon and I was wondering if I could improve the response of the car.
This is an auto state that between pressing the foot all way down and efective response from the engine can take as much as 2 whole seconds.
I'm satisfied with the power available but if i could improve a little bit I wouldn't say no, however the main concern is the response time.
I've read something about an electronic boost controller that could dramatically improve the performance of the turbo but I still couldn't understand how it works.
I also thought of replacing the existing turbo for an hybrid one but this should induce more lag, right?
Keeping the costs low, how can I do this? Or is this a characteristic of the auto gearbox?
Thanks,
Ricardo
