WANTING TO SUPERCHARGE MY C55 AMG
I have a Right hand drive c55 AMG with about 40,000 miles on it and I was thinking about slapping on the e55 supercharger. My first thought was maybe going with something aftermarket, but because of the high prices Ive done some research to find that the M113 (C55) and the M113k (E55) are the exact same motor with the exception of the E class version being supercharged. So with that in mind I have been browsing the best salvage M113k parts and ive made a list of things that have caught my eye. HOWEVER I would like some input on anyone who has maybe done the job before? any advice? does the e55 some with an intercooler I also need to purchase? Let me know soon guys! Thank you!

It has been beat to death and very rarely done. It is much worse than an engine swap. To do it with Mercedes parts you essentially need a donor vehicle to strip the drivetrain and electronics.
Do a search and you'll be informed.
Sadly, it is not an easy task.

A huge commitment project
As the other posters advise you, I join the chorus. This project is not for the faint of heart. I heard of one costing like a good used C63 with a few mods already on it. But if you are determined and committed, there is a lot of info around.
