Twin Turbo or Supercharger? CLK 430 1999

[bankerkys]

I'd love to see a new supercharger kit hit the market. I recently spoke to STS about a turbo, and they told me tuning would run $15,000-$18,000. So total cost with the turbo would be about $30,000!

you can get a kleeman for less than that and its proven power

WOW!

yeah i use a piggy back system called "Perfect Power" out of South Africa...Welcome to Perfect Power - Complete Engine Management and Fuel Injection Systems including Stand-alone and Piggy-back Systems and then use the ecm SMT6 for tuning...all i need is the TPS sensor, MAF sensor and tap in to a vacuum line and add a 2 bar map sensor and ECT Sensor and i can pretty much tune that way for fuel and timing is a bit more complicated but i believe anything that has a 5 volt reference i can work with is needed

if it will work on a damn Saturn ION it should work on a Benz!

No matter what, any FI done to the car is going to be pricey, even if you're loaded, it's not like 20k give or take is chump change.

NOOOOO at the most 5-6K AT THE MOST!

Yeah, I talked to STS too and they stopped talking to me for some reason. Even one of their "Preferred Shops". I think they just don't want to deal with a Benz or something. Very unprofessional. Really good at making you think its cheap and easy, but when it comes down to it there is only a few options for us.

So.... Any one have any luck getting a hold of House of Power? I have tried many times with no success.

Seems the compression ration is the same for the CLK 320 / CLK 430. With that being said is it possible to run the same SuperCharger or is there other things to consider?
I'm also wondering if the same mounting bracket for the supercharger will work?

I have tried contacting HoP as well - they have never responded.

I just sent an e-mail to a distributor in South Florida about Mosselman. They have a kit listed on their website for $6500.00. The power increase, however, is only about 80hp. If I can get in touch with them, then I will post the information here.

Website: direct sales and design (all one word) dot com.

bankerkys let me know if you get any info from them about the Mosselman one. I couldn't see a kit for the CLK430, only 320 for some reason. Man, both them and Mosselman have horrible websites.

Maybe time for a 150Shot of Nitrous, haha.
