I had one once but I sold it years ago. I still have a crankshaft front pulley for one and maybe a few small bits that could be useful.

Some early accounts of "piston melt down" with a Judson Super Charger in a 190SL, are documented in the "Star Magazine" back in the day.

I have heard about it. Trouble with mixture being too lean at higher rpm. Also troubles with pinging.
