Kleemann install this week for my car
I already have the Kleemann header. Now, I am driving to Colorado Springs on Wednesday to get the boost kit installed, along with ECU tune, and dyno tuned. I will try to get pics and dyno results posted afterwards.

I went to the Kleemann website, went to eshop section under country UK and it shows the boost kit and the description. In addition, I am getting an ECU tune. I have dealt with Cory before and I talked to him about the kit back in June.
When I get back home to Vegas, I will post my impressions and the Dyno chart after the install.
wesite says power gains of 30 Tq/30 Hp

Dropped off my car in the morning and by 1 o'clock it was complete. Dyno shows peak HP about 3500 rpm. Looks like nice gains on both HP and Tq. I drive back to Las Vegas tommorrow, so I will see on how it is on the 850 mi trip.
On the was from Vegas to Colorado Springs, I averaged 29.3 MPG, and that was at an average speed of 75 MPH!
Cory was kind enough to also provide me with the dyno chart, and I will post it in the near future. Cory was very informative and answered any questions that I had also

Some pictures for those of us that are curious would be nice too. Be very interested to see how it feels for your drive home. Have fun!

Typically, cruise rpm at 80 MPH is about 3100-3200 rpm. The HP peaks at about 5500 RPM. At cruise power, it looks like a 25-28 HP change from baseline dyno.
You definately feel more torque, which peaks about 3500 RPM and it is significantly higher than the baseline dyno. I will try to get the dyno sheet posted, but I am currently in an airport waiting on my flight to work.
Overall, on a 1700 mi roundtrip from Las Vegas to Colorado Springs, I achieved an average of 29 MPG. That is at an average of 75 MPH and very hilly terrain (going through the rockies). It was just about 12 hrs each direction.
I am happy with the performance upgrade.

Very nice!
I can't wait to see the dyno chart and hear your impressions.
Man, it doesn't sound like it's too bad of a drive, 1700 round trip to Colorado Springs from Vegas, so it would be 2300 miles for me. Is there anything to do along the way from Vegas to Colorado?

Here is the dyno chart from my Kleemann install. The baseline includes the Kleemann header previously installed, and the the max is after the boost kit, pulley, and ECU tune.

About 175 rear wheel horsepower as opposed to the 152 rear wheel horsepower baseline. The baseline included the Kleemann header previously installed.
The rear wheel horsepower is lower than the manufacturer's stated numbers because the manufacturer horsepower numbers are just the engine and doesn't take the drivetrain into the equation

Out Of Control!!
Does it mention at the wheels or at the engine? Either way, you're in the ballpark. It's good to see gain claims that are accurate from a manufacturer.
You should have had them do your interior while you were there.
That would be only what, 8-10k? I do love their diamond stitching on their seating options.
How was their hq, by the way?

The Kleemann location in Colorado Springs is in an industrial park area off of I-25 about an hour south of Denver. It is a small operation actually with just a few employees. Cory was kind enough to drop my brother and I at the hotel after I dropped my car off and then picked me up when the job was complete.
I also got the trunk emblem and two "comfort power" emblems to replace the "sport" on the sides!
