C180k Coupe 2002
Hi all, Lookin at the C180 Coupe..

What kinda increases can be seen from turning up the boost on one of these? at a safe level with out touching anything in side the engine? Bigger intercooler?

Thanks :D

Dont go for a bigger intercooler if you're turning up the boost! the intercooler makes the air more dense; turning up the boost will give your engine more oxygen, but if you go bigger on the intercooler too, you could end up with too much boost and thats gonna be expensive if it all goes wrong. If you really ARE thinking of more boost, make sure the engine stays cool. Bigger rad is a good place to start.
But if its power you need then go for a Nitrous kit. It should cost you about £500 but in the long-run its cheaper than turning up the boost because it it melts a piston its gonna cost you £1000's! Good luck.
