Engine Tuning..

Any experience with Brabus style engine modifications? I see lots in the forums about tires and suspension, but not much on getting more horses. Who does this kind of work in the US, and how foolish would I be to pursue this given implications on warranty and wallet?

Brabus is a little pricey. The only authorized shop to do the engine work is Brabus NA in Newport Beach. You might give Ben at EvoSport a call or email at ben@evosport.com he can def. help you with these issues. Kleemann supercharger system may be the way to go. Brabus is too much money for the HP.

Tell him Peter from Wheel Experts sent you.

I would recommend the Kleemann system over the Brabus engine upgrades. You'll get better gas mileage, have more power, and spend less. After that, if you still wanted to go into the engine, you could always add the MKB Hypertune kit.
