Two smaller turbos will produce much lesser lag than one large turbo.

exactly my point too right!
It's all about getting rid of that feeling of putting your foot down and no response! angry hence the reason why manufacturers put parallel turbos in their cars

Yeah that's why I prefer superchargers. Instant power and very simple to work on.

yea sure but it sucks power directly from the engine(by receiving torque needed to drive it by belt from the crankshaft) thereby sucking up some of that hp it produces and has an effect on fuel economy too angry unlike turbos.
But I agree with you on the ease of working on it.
So I noticed you are good with your hands.can you design a fully electric forced air induction system?
It will be great!no lag,no fuel economy nonsense,No sucking up hp and more efficient too and probably will be easy to work on too.
We can sell this to anybody bro

I would but I would need to do a lot of research and study. I have also thought of this too. Why haven't car manufacturers made it mainstream. Maybe they have thought of it but it might be too powerful to be run off a 12 volt battery. You might need a special large battery for it.

Yeah the w204 is rife with steering lock problems. And it's too far gone. Once he noticed the steering was locked he should have used a small hammer to tap the lock. You would have to buy a new steering lock. There's no two ways about that.

Lol, this is preposterous tbh.

Abeg, what are the peculiar problems of the 2005 C230k, make I know now. Maybe this will be the first and last Benz I'll own.

Everyone who knows a single thing about cars knows that Mercedes is overrated. The gearheads who disagree are just hypocrites, or enjoy Mercs for reasons best known to them.

I suspect your mechanic is between 28 and 40. He is a thief. Ole. That was how my menachic said tokunbo ball joint is 20k,new one 40k. I just burst laff,delete him number. when I went to whr them dey sell am,toks is 3k for one part,while 12k for brand new pair. So my mechanic wants go cheat me of 8k,then will still charge me 2k workmanship. Change that mechanic fast. I hate thieves.
