Looks like a universal kit. If you go check out his other items for sale, it's the same kit for other cars as well. They basically packaged all of the general parts together and tell you to find your own down pipe, manifold, engine management, etc. Check their description:
* Not all parts are bolt-on. Universal piping kit will need to be custom modified at an exhaust shop to adjust for the correct bends. *
* Requires a down pipe which needs to be connected to existing exhaust. A custom adapter needs to be fabricated from a place such as an exhaust shop. *
* Other parts you need or should get is Turbo Manifold, Boost Controller, Turbo Timer, and Engine/Fuel Management System. *
* Professional Installation is Highly Recommended (No Instructions Included)!! *

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
You would want a model-specific kit. I have had non-turbo cars that were converted. It's possible and rewarding with ready-made kits, but it's best to upgrade turbo charged cars, not add turbos to NA cars. The engine management would be difficult and expensive. You would probably stand-alone management. W204 V6 would be best with a twin turbo set up anyway. Stay away from that kit.

That makes sense. Not that I was going to act on it, and without much knowledge about the whole conversion business, I just found that listing awfully awkward...lol

Sounds like Kleemann has abandoned the forced induction kit for the M272 too. Probably not going to any options for serious power for our little engines, except for the Brabus 4.0 stroker conversion. But at $30K it just doesn't make sense.

When you say Turbo Charger, do you mean supercharger vs the turbo in this post?
If so, which one would be better in our NA engine cars? Supercharger, or turbo? Is Twin turbo any different?

Here are the parts you'd need to rear mount turbo the engine. M272 would more or less share the same parts as M113.

Why is this thread not deleted yet? Someone has already done this and it wasn't very cost effective. The car is still for sale if I'm not mistaken. Rear mounted because there isn't enough room up front.

The Nitrous Option ...
If one must have more power, occasionally, NO2 kits with oxygen rich fuel tanks are a genrally proven upgrade, easily installed, that could be added for much less $$$. Again, extreme focus on set-up and use is mandatory to avoid a blown up trunk ... just from the energy of a highly pressured tank, NO2 or just air.
