Hi Guys,

I just sent my C280 in yesterday to have a Kleeman K2 Supercharger installed!!! I am very excited and cannot wait to receive it.

I am getting done by a company called http://www.a-ltuning.com my mechanic Mike is doing it.

They are an amazing garage i recommend you go there for servicing and everything. I have got my Esienmann, sports cat everything done from him.

I ll post pics of the car when its done and let you know what it is like.

Hi,
I,ll be interested in the gains you get, i presume the K2 is a tuning box or a chip? will you be getting a rolling road test before and after fitting to see the improvements you,ll be getting?

Hi,
Did you source the supercharger from Kleeman directly? or did you manage to get a second hand unit?

Hi,
Ahh ok, that might explain why i can never get a reply to my e-mails regarding a set of exhaust manifolds and supercharger for my C43, I,ll give A L Tuning a mail, any chance you could give me an indication of price of the suprcharger, if you don,t want to post up the price you PM me.
Have they given you any indication of the power gains you can expect from the K2 conversion?
Many thanks

Kleeman

Hi,

Hi, i ll PM you the price. If you do contact A L Tuning then ask for Mike, tell him you know me and he will do you a deal or i will contact him on your behalf if you want.

If had the same problem with Kleemann its like they dont want to sell their products.

Guys

Did you not know that all cars already have a built-in tuning device free of charge.

If you look you will find it under the right foot.

AND if you use it to maximum effect it can make your car go incredibly fast - all without any further expenditure.

BUT it seems not many people are interested in using it, as everyone travels along the motorways at approximately the same speed !!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonder why that is ???????????

So, don't spend anymore on extra tuning until you have at least maximised the free tuning device you already have.

Very true David,, I read these post sometimes and think that I could get a few more BHP, then I think that the tyres do not last long as it is, I can soon get into trouble as it is, The car is extremely comfortable as it is, so I will leave it, as it is:D
