2000 c230 Kompressor
I'm not sure if it can be done, but it probably can be. The thing is, the supercharger usually runs on a different belt than other components, such as the alternator. Also, I forget, does the c280 use premium fuel? If so, you will get an increase in power with a supercharger. However, keep in mind that a supercharger actually sucks away engine power to run in the first place. However, the output levels will more than make up for that. Also, a supercharger will increase fuel consumption. If it can be fitted, I'd say go for it. Superchargers are pretty sweet

Getting a supercharger will also cost money. You'll probably put up alot of dough doing all the upgrade than buying a c36. I maybe wrong but I think the psi boost of the c230K is at 4psi. That would probably give your c280 additional 46HP or lower. C36 can produced 280HP stock.
