MAF relocation on the M111 (230K) engine for better performance

[vijilants]

In this month's MB Club Gazette, there is an article on relocating the MAF on the M111 engine of a 1996 SLK230.

Basically the MAF on these usually sit vertically down the side of the radiator, but apparently relocating it to the horizontal position close up to the throttle body is supposed to give better throttle response, smoother etc.

The article is a full HOW TO with pics etc.

The engine quoted is the M111 973.

My engine is the c230K M111 975 .

MAF relocation?

Dont think i need to do it - i have the 200k M111 engine.

Where is your MAF mounted then?
My 230k is a M111, all 230k engines are, whether in a clk, slk, c class
There are 2 types 230k engine (cosmetically the induction system is different) both with the MAF mounted adjacent to the radiator, (i have always believed the 200k version to look the same as the later 230k), the mod discussed puts the MAF "alot" closer to the throttle valve.
