anyway yeah it was black and and it was in the valley he had no plate but a but a piece of paper on the back of his window and it read a plate number 4ATA something i think
The Brabus K8 is simply the Brabus upgrade to the V8 Kompressor engines. They install a ECU and pulley combo much like the other tuners. 550hp is their claim.
The Full K8 also gets the Brabus engine cover in Red with high flow filters.
I think an additional closed intercooler loop/pump is also part of the package.

I don't know why I was under the impression it wasa twin turbo setup. I recall reading on the Brabus site that the compressor motor would not fit the CLK because the height of the front of the motor with the supercharger clutch would not allow the bonnet to close, so a turbo setup was used.
I must have been on drugs, because it now clearly states that it is the AMG compressor motor on the Brabus site.
