Default benz c350 or turbo tc??

okay guys, so i've had my tc since 06 and its completely fully loaded from inside, outside, and engine... i yet havent installed my turbo but im def planning to, with all the things i have done to the engine and completely custom turbo and more I will be running 350-400hp easily... Im kind of tired of the loud exhaust that I have on at the moment, so i was planning on getting a benz c350 and selling the tc. IF i do keep the tc i will have a switch to switch from open dump to exhaust at the track but the thing is im not into racing no more. Or IF i do keep it, i was planning on putting the stock exhaust back and still have the switch for the open dump. The picture below was when it was s/c but took it off in order to go turbo.. and another thing ALL OF MY TURBO stuff is good name brands- presicion turbo, tial BOV and wastegate, vibrant pipings, presicion core with custom welding, cp piston, carrillo rods, and sooooooo many more of things like that.

What do you guys think, or what should I do ??????

I would keep the tc. After going so far in building the motor, saving up to buy good name brand turbo parts to just sell it off -_-. Finish what your doing before you leave your project. The exhaust is loud and raspy well after you put the turbo it will tone the exhaust down a lot. Also if your running aftermarket headers there is the other reason Why its loud and raspy. In my opinion I would keep the tc and finish my goal.

But at the end of the day you will do what you really want to do no matter what we tell you. If you choose to sell the tc part.out then sell thats how your will make money

So out of this, I gathered that you want to get rid of your tC because the exhaust is too loud? And your other option is a Mercedes? Yeah, nice. I wish my problems were as petty as this.

I was thinking about doing the same thing.... do some research about cost of ownership too.... I was doing some research as simple maintenance and was a little surprised on cost.. decided to keep my cash in my bank and keep the tC.
but the benz is a nice ride don't get me wrong...lol

Now...real question is what have you done for your engine to gain these 350whp-400whp dreams? Hope your engine is actually worked with internals Bc what I see with our car it looks pretty riced out

Part out and sell. Or just remove all the parts and sell the car. The extra parts you have will be good money to mod the Benz

Wow, work on complete sentences and thoughts and we'd be able to understand what you want. If you don't know whats done to your car and you need to look at a receipt there is a big problem. Part out the aftermarket parts and get something else honestly. Though the only issue I see you complain about is a loud exhaust, which makes no sense. I personally wouldn't drop a tC's stock exhaust with a turbo, but thats just me having common sense. It's your car and your money and life, so do what makes you happy. If you want peoples opinions, give more information without the run on sentence you gave us.
