I will give HPS a try with CLK55 kit
I have many years playing with blown cars. I will try the HPS kit and tell all about the story. I will not talk the sales service, but the performance of the kit. Lets get to the brass.
Looking at the kit the only issue to watch is timing and detonation. The kit must be running rich to offset the issue.
I have a carry over part from the domestic world. It allows modification of the MAF signal too, but is much better than the HPS part. I am working to get a unit that allows playing with the timing signal. With a timing signal modification, we can edit WOT timing.
A chip is the real need, so timing can be backed-off about 5 degrees across the board at WOT.
I measured the area and have a custom water-to-air set-up defined to fit as needed. 4-5 psi is all this needs at full timing.
more to come soon.

Sounds good Greg. Get an O2 bung welded into that beast and we'll use my wideband to dial in the a/f with the MAFterburner. I should be able to log timing with my Pepper OBD2 tool so we can see how much she runs. With that low of boost timing may not turn out to be much of an issue.
I can't wait to see how that thing performs with a blower.
When are you ordering the kit?

HPS kit
Got the kit and all the parts. On thing I like of the HPS kit is that most all the parts are off-the-shelf. From my first pass, all the parts look good. A clean air duct system with extra metal hanging around.
The kit is best for a coupe, but can work on a vert. For the price compared to ther kits, it seem nice at firat pass.
I will send shots later.
