C43 s/c and Turbo
has anyone added a s/c or turbo or both to their C43?
I have a friend who is crazy about doing this "when theres a will, theres a way"

Yeah he is Supercharged with a HPS GEN 1. Man does that car move...I've been in it for a spin. Nothing like stock. What a whine.

If I were to have another C43 I would stick the same SC system on it right away. If you were to find a decent used gen 1 kit you could have it in with a few little things here and there for under 5K. When my car was completly stock with the gen 1 it made as much as the W210E55 with the same supercharger. Its beastly, I just messed around with a stang cobra on the way home tonight and yanked right by him a couple times. He was laughing his *** off cause I was in the middle of eating a banana while I was spankin him.

you can make alot of NA power in the near future. SC are too expensive and create ton of headache. You might as well sell your C43 and get CLK55 AMG and mod it for the equivalent pricetag of the C43 + SC kit
