Jumper pack construction is very iffy, low quality. Out of the box main cable plug did not stay plugged in, LED was DOA. There are better packs in the same price - power category.

@LegitStreetCars - Hi Alex, still a big fan of your work/ videos similar issue, I have a 2006 Mercedes CLK 320 CDi W209 which came with a standard Garrette turbo - I was getting the error code on STAR as 'P0244 - Wastegate sonoloid on position A' as it was on limp mode and it felt like it was dragging an anchor on the road with less performance, could go past 30 Mph I initially thought it was the Actuator, I took it out and tested - it turns out this was 100% great in working order, so ruled out the actuator. It turns out the arm/ rod connected to the actuator (which closes the wastegate on the turbo) is seized, it's hard to move, I discovered this after disconnecting the actuator. I've had to leave the actuator disconnected and leave the wastegate shut to give it more boost, it's been left closed and performance has been restored. -What's your take on it? would leaving this shut create issues? - Should I leave it closed? - would you do a video on resolving a stuck/ seized wastegate on a Garrette Turbo, please? thank you in advance :)

Do you still drive this car ????

Alex, can I use the stage one for my S320 cdi W220 2005, it's the same engine but not model obviously.

how about that e class standing behind at 0:17 ?

@@mariohackku he's had that for over a year. Great content on that too. Alex takes a lot of the worry out of owning what could be a very expensive car.

A.J. Green oh, thanks for the info. New to this channel watched 2-3 videos... thanks for the tip ill watch that next

There are a lot of channels here that are either building, or have built affordable cars. Especially if you look at smaller channels. I guess it depends on what you may consider affordable tho. Otherwise, there are plenty of folks building Mustangs, Miatas, and Hondas. I've actually been watching a guy that's building an old Civic he got from a junk yard. He's doing a really budget build tho. EBay turbo and all

I'm building a 25 year old mercedes diesel with an om606, turbo block, hx35 and six speed manual for nowcheck my channel out.

Thanks Alex, appreciate that.

More Alex's in this comment please.

Best diesel tuning too! Who cares about fast trucks? We want nice cars that have stock diesel engines!

I've just thought WTF. My brother has same profile pic😂😂😂

More reason to fix it!

Gedas Alekveravičius How do you know its not your brother....

@@randomshit6669 he does not know english, he is not into cars.

lol, wait, How does he not know english but you do?

You can detail a Mercedes diesel car and the engine looks great for about one day. //:=| Be sure and take a picture!

You gunna detail it for him?

Wow thanks for this. Can you email me at legitstreetcars@gmail.com I have a few questions if you have time. Thanks Alex

LegitStreetCars email sent.

Thanks! Means a lot. Alex

12’s is a tall ask... unless you plan to go huge on the turbo (kinda ruining the drivability) or give it some LPG for extra thrust.

Yes, if by easy bolt-ons you mean all emissions deleted, a bigger turbo (possibly compounds), bigger injectors, bigger low & high pressure fuel pumps, a transmissions that will hold the power, and then run a race tune for the 1/4 and a super lean eco tune for the MPGs.

Monster RAM That car is about 3k ligher than your truck so 12s won’t need as much work

@@monsterram6617 these transmissions are good for 600 hp / 1000 nm. No need for compounds, just a bigger turbo. Dont know about the pumps and such.

sam grabel - the 320 CDI also has a smaller engine with appropriately sized fueling components for probably in the region of a maximum of 300-320 hp, so Monster RAM is entirely correct in his assertion... Alex will need a significantly bigger turbo and all the supporting modifications (bar maybe a transmission upgrade) to make the 450 or so horsepower needed to propel this car into the high 12’s.

Mihai Rock same engine 2.2 cdi around 300k km full full options from 2006 option and it is better then any tdi ( audi , Passat , golf or any other shitty tdi )

I totally agree with you 😂

Mihai Rock I have the version with the parking packet front and rear , heating and cold seats and steering wheel moving option and it’s super economical it’s a manual I always hate the automatic , but otherwise the only thing the e class got more it’s the fridge inside and the steering wheel it’s smaller and it’s more flexed rather then the c class .

The e classe is a bigger car more like a family car, I choose the c classe because I just needed for personal draving, and it's more economical than the e classe with the same engine because it's lighter, I'm from Portugal so I don't know haw to convert in mpg but I usually get like 5.0 liters in 100 km, and I also tuned the car at 500.000km so from factory 150hp it get to 185hp and it went pretty reliable anyway

Mihai Roc I’m in Europe as well Albania I have the 143 hp version 2001 - 2003 and I get 4 liters

Totally! I want to just put them in the front too. They are really cheap too

@@LegitStreetCars You should! They look great.

LegitStreetCars What size are the SL Wheels and where do you look for replacement wheel? Thanks.

surprisingly enough, yeah they look great !

Thanks Roman, means a lot to me. Have a great new year

Thanks Nicolas. We keep growing everyday but I'm happy with the quality subs I have now

😂😂😂

😁

Wow that has to be one of the lowest mileage C55s around!

I try, I try

Big turbo? Nah, who does that?? Hahaha dude you have no idea!! I really want to rip into this car. I mean at 3 grand who cars what happens to it? Alex

Yeah I guess it’s like picking up a nice beater to use as a daily driver.

LegitStreetCars won’t happen search on Benz forums u can’t change turbos on those diesels its very hard

@@norimeshau7638 anything is possible with a computer flash

scientific method perspective hope he gets more then 300 hp in it

I'm digging these 80s style tuned

I'm not in the burbs

@@LegitStreetCars close enough, I'm a block from lake Michigan. Not a garage to be had around here

500NM torque is plenty

That's awesome!!!

Thanks brother!!
