I need an Extra $16,500...

So I took a little trip over to the local Kleemann dealer here in sacramento. The Blower, Stage 2 ECU, and LSD installed are $16.5K So anyone want to buy a lotus?

According to Kleemann it bumps the 208 to 550hp

That sounds about right. You're thinking it's too expensive but if you've actually driven a Kleemann 208 55 car it's well worth it.

Did your local K dealer have a demo car you can test drive/ride on? You should seriously either ride in one or at least test drive it if you can. Then you can decide if all of that is worth it or not.

Nope... I'd be the first Blower they've done... they have a Dinan M5 as a shop car

What kind of warranty is offered with that? The transmission covered? Sounds like a yummy upgrade nonetheless.

Go for it - you won't regret it .

I spoke with a Master MB tech yesterday who again reitterated that the transmission of the MB W208 can more than handle the Kleemann upgrades. This just keeps feeding my confidence that Kleemann is a the best bang for my buck. Can't wait to throw in my S/C!
