A Few Questions

I looked around in the this forum and couldnt find anything about this.

I'm looking to get a C230K Sport or a C280 Sport around July. I've heard that the C230K is just about equal to the C280 but Renntech has more upgrades for it (although I dont think I can ever get one since they're all pretty expensive).

I know that in the future I would want to do something so that, for lack of a better phrase, I could make the car faster. Is the C230K better than the C280 for this?

Also, does anyone know how much the Kleemann Kompressor system for a C280 is? I saw something in here about how Kleemann discontinued it, but I'm not quite sure. What about the Kleemann boost-kit for a C230K?

00 c230k
If u are thinking about getting a c230k, a k23 kompressor upgrade from kleemans can range from $599-899 if it was made after the summer of 2000, if it was made before, it would cost you around $1,752. All of this information i got from evosport.com so i don't know if this is exact or not.

I don't know why the year of the make is so important and can cause such a price difference. anyways dont expect me to know too much about kleemanns

Personally my experiance with the c230k is good, and i never rode in a c280 before. All i envy from the c280 is the electronic climate control that i don't have . I like the deep rumble of the c230k's kompressor and personally i like the Kompressor emblem on the back of the trunk

Anyways both cars are good so good luck with your choice!

What about the Kleemann turbo-kit for a C230K?
Wow! This guy knows how to make serious horsepower. Why didn't I think of that??? Adding a turbo charger to a supercharged car!!! Brilliance!! Sheer brilliance.

umm

what? was that just some sort of lame attempt at making fun of me? they're called "boost-kits", not turbo kits as i previously said; you can find them on Kleemann's website at http://www.kleemann.dk/tuning/f_boost.htm

If you click on Boost kit 2,3 you'll see a chart and graph that show the actual performance improvement.

KLEEMANN did not discontinue the kompressor system for the C280, however, KLEEMANN USA has discontinued the Over-Boost kit for the C230 kompressor. KLEEMANN does not make a turbo kit for the C230 either. The V6 kompressor system is priced at $8500, with installation being around $1300.00. Hope this clears things up for you!
