Kompressor Boost?

How much boost does the stock C32 Kompressor give? Is it 7 psi from the factory? Is a smaller pully available to get that up to 11 psi or so. I saw this done to the new mustang that come with a blower. A new pully, belt tentioner, and shorter belt were added along with an update to the ECUs program. This added about 70hp with the boost up at 11psi.

Power Gains (CA 91 Octane):
> +3 lbs. boost (0.2 bar)
> Improve air flow
> 435 hp (75-85 RWHP)
> 420 ft-lb (70-80 RWTQ)

$5,490



For the Ford Mustang, the price was less than $1000 for more gain. Just a smaller pully was added to the input shaft of the super charger along with a shorter belt and a tentioner pully. That included a programmer for the ECU.

Tuning for MBs is alot more expensive. This is also a much more involved tuning program than the one you are describing. If you compare the price of Evosport Stage II with the other alternatives to building a 435 hp C32, it is extremely reasonable.
