Unless you do it yourself, then the only costs are machining for pistons/conrods, new gaskets and a rolling road setup session.

I think on the 103 you can just bang them on,without lowering the ratio

its a farily low compression system as it stands and you can adjust the fuel octane setting but will not get the full potential of the system without lowering the compression ratio.

Is this kit still available by any chance???

Hi,
I have had the head work done on my car so its ready to fit but I am told that my manual g/box will not cope with the torque. An additional question mark hangs over the brakes, so in short I am unlikely to ever fit it to a g-wagen. Have you got a suitable vehicle to fit it to? If you have you can have it, for what I paid for it, £1,000 complete with instructions. I am away over the week-end put contact detail up and I will send you pictures of the full kit.

there is an article on the Turbo Technics conversion of a 3 litre 24v 124te in the May 2009 edition of Mercedes Enthusiast. These offered little if any advantage over the 8 valve engine because I suppose forced induction negates any breathing improvement due to the extra set of valves, but what caught my attention was the fact that the owner stated that there was no deterioration in overall fuel consumption.

Prwales; Do you have a copy of the article? Would be an interesting read.

Cheers. Andrew.

Morning. Haven't posted enough to be able to PM it seems. Not desperate though. I'll see if I can track down a copy of the magazine. Cheers
