I put a thread up in the wrong section, giving it another go here http://www.mbcarperformance.nl/cata...d6215&osCsid=a6982a271829023cdd5dbc5cdf5cd3b7

I received this link couple of days ago. Throttlebodies were ever more on my mind but the price is just too much. Now this also seems nice. Wrote the peolple for an appointement /testdrive.

It's not new i know, been searching and found that a lot of you are already running turbos.
I always thought turbos would kill the clutch/box after a while , these people say it's 100% reliable.

I'm wondering what you all think of this, how are you turbodrivers holding out with your cars ?

Realllly curious

my clutch and gearbox are 15k miles old since conversion, (with 45k on gearbox!) and after a recent gearbox oil change the gears slide in very smoothly! The clutch still bites very hard, probably more down to the driver though, as I never abuse it from a standstill.

Did you have to change the clutch when you did the turboconversion ?

On the site they mention that sales will start in October, have'nt heard any prices yet but i want to head over there this week for a spin around the block. Ofcourse i'll post my experiences afterwards

Around €3800 (2500 GBP) everything included, except fitting.

@Franx; I'm very interested in your experiences, just make sure you drive it a bit longer then 'a spin around the block'.

Just phoned , this price is what they're aiming at right now. This is pretty awesome, may be invited to take her for a go at Nurburgring :lolup:
One of the guys behind it all from MB is in his bed right now with a bad case of the Flu, and the track is closed so may be a little while...
