Thanks mate - that makes sense but my only concern would be finding a kit for sale as these have both been discontinued as far as I can see.
But as you say, if no intercooling then happy days!
From a quick read, the mercs used those same superchargers, so if I can't find a kit, and went for a used C230 unit, all I need is to get a bracket fabricated.
