I'm not familiar with that chip company but to answer your questions...
1) yes there is a supercharger for the 320, kleeman makes it but its expensive.
2) you can look at evosport's underdrive pulleys, they will help with low end acceleration and throttle response. Also, you might look at getting some Green or K&N filters or making a custom cold air intake with some metal tubing and a mandrell bender. Exhaust adds a little power, but mostly sound. You can also look into more expensive options like headers or camshafts if you wanted to go that far. Check out evosport's website for some good ideas, but for the 320 you're going to have to be creative.

nah don't spend money on a chip. superchargers are pretty expensive (in the +$9,000 range). i dunno if trading it for a 430 is an option? cheaper than a supercharger

You might try to mimic this setup on the crossfire with green twister intake cones, but you'd have to fit an airbox from an SLK or Crossfire onto the CLK.

Evosport pulleys are a good idea
Other than that, you can do an eisenmann exhaust

There was a guy on here a while ago doing a turbo CLK 320 but he hasnt been on in a while. If you want to get better performance out of the car though, you should definitely change the suspension, its doesnt make the car faster HP wise, but around the corners it will make more difference than any of the above modifications.
