Twin Turbo or Supercharger? CLK 430 1999

Hey guys,
So as some of you guys know i own Speed Mafia and i mostly deal in domestics...but since i picked up my 1999 CLK 430 i am thinking of putting a p1SC ProCharger on it. Since i am a distributor for them i am very familiar with there products and blowers and i think it would be very interesting to see how it handles boost...my only concern is tuning!

How many boosted W208 CLK's are out there?

Thanks Kevin

To be honest man doing a kit for the Cars is the easy part i do all the engineering and design for procharged cars that are unique so that is the easy part, tuning is the hard part...thats really my only concern i can get kits out very cheap like....4500.00 then you have to worry about tuning which can be $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

You might want to talk to HOP ( House of Power ) in Huntington Beach CA. They have been selling, tunning and custom making Vortech centrifugal blower installations for about 6 years now. They could answer you questions about tunning.

If what you are looking to do is create something with a centrifugal blower they would be the ones to call for questions because I don't think anyone else out there is doing it.

Here's a link to there website for there contact info

I'm not worried about the tunning part, I have a friend who worked for a Skyline GTR Tunning company here in Japan who says he can do it.

I emailed HOP twice in the past and they never responded. I know they have a kit for the CLK430 but I don't know if I can apply that same kit to my CLK320. I'm not real knowlegeable about engines and tunning.

I don't think they have one for the 320 yet or maybe they do but I have not talked to them in about 3 -4 years. They might have one now. He wanted to test everything out on my car and I pay for the parts for sponsorship but I told the guy that I wanted it all for free and I would show my car everywhere for him and give him lots of fame for doing so. The kit was estimated to cost around $5500 installed and the parts were going to be around $3500. I'm sure those prices are not the same now.

I e-mailed HoP about a kit for the CLK430 a few times. They never responded.
