Talking proud owner of a barely used '03 CL55!!

Tectite/Charcoal, loaded with only 3k miles. The previous owner chromed the AMG wheels and limo tinted the windows - pretty nice.
Next step is the kleemann boost kit and lowering module - -- and then on to the GUMBALL

I heard that some Kleemann boost products actually froze the factory AMG blowers (twice actually in one car - a red C-Coupe), that is why "it" is not being offered anymore.

Can someone confirm?

Question that is why "what" isn't being offered anymore??

Kleeman's boost kits are still readily available for all models. I doubt that a malfunction in one particular car would cause Kleeman to stop the production of their most popular upgrade.

none, but a failing product on one, may mean failing on the other. That's just the way name recognition works backwards sometimes. "Oh yeah, that Kleemann boost kit, I heard that it wasn't good."

w203 coupe, one of the bottom of the rung, compared to a w215, one of the top of the rung.

Not all Kleemann boost kits are the same.
