if i go with a super is it better to get it from benz it self or a another placeMB is not going to sell you a supercharger kit (or a turbocharger kit). You'll need to get it from a tuner.
Although, and maybe MBenzNL or someone knows the answer to this...could you order kompressor parts from a C32 and fit them onto a C320 engine? Even if it were possible something tells me it might be cheaper to go with a tuner kit.

If someone could do it for less money with a smaller motor .... they surely would.

Honestly guys, if the guy has the money, let him purchase the Supercharger kit from Kleeman etc.. If he doesn't then he's out of luck.
Also you guys worry about the waranty issue a little to excessively. By law the factory cannot void your waranty if you were to add a supercharger. The only way they can void a waranty or to be more accurate "WARANTY SERVICE" is if your added performance part actually caused the the waranty repair issue, and they have to prove it. Plain and simple
now, it's friday and i've typed way to much..
Liquor before beer, you're all in the clear! remember that and you'll have a great weekend! Have a happy one!

Honestly, if this guy had a C230 instead of the C320, I would have called him out as being C230_617.
Perhaps he's just saying he has a C320, but I don't know... His posts have just been waaaaay too similar to our buddy C230_617.
