Nice Kleeman Boost for E200K
Wow! Looks like Kleeman K-Box + Pulley kit would make a stock E200K to near E320 specs. This is something serious...
Local Benzline is offering this for around S$3,500. What do you guys (with experience on Kleeman's products) think?

Hi VBlaster_W211. I was pretty interested in the K-Box too, but my friendly neighbourhood mechanic told me the following bits of information that made me somewhat concerned:
(a) The K-box "reroutes" signals to and from the ECU - and this may cause some mis-firing, and may even interfere with other electronic controls of the car.
(b) The pulley system doesn't come with the proper cooling system.
Of course, my friendly neighbourhood mechanic's trying to sell me the OTHER pulley/coolant/chipping system that goes for considerably more, so I don't know if he's telling me half truths or whole lies, but it sure got me thinking a bit.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this matter
Cheers,
Wobbles
PS. The alternative system the mechanic was pushing claimed a top BHP of 240, with 340Nm worth of torque. Costs almost 10K more than the Kleemann's K-box.

That's with a larger intercooler? What's that? Vaeth kit? >$10K for such a mod is a too expensive..
I know one C180K M271 fitted with the K-Box. No probs thus far, more spirited driving experience.

Are you keen on the K-box? I wouldn't mind coming down for a bit of a look with you - would be my first time at Benzline... drop me a PM if you're interested, and we'll see if we can firm something up

Time to revive this thread. Anyone else from Singapore interested in this?
I think there're 2 options now:
Kleemann kit from Benzline
Carlsson kit from Autovox
Still thinking bet the 2...

I drive a C180K (w203) and am interested in the KBox. According to Kleemann, it would increase hp from stock 143hp to 193hp. I am apprehensive about such mod cause i am worry about voiding the warranty.

K-box is piggy back. Just rip it off and return for warranty if you need to. But frankly, this is a very minor mod, equivalent to fitting e-manage or FCON SZ on Honda Integra and the likes - no big deal.
MBM Wheelpower just did a Carlsson-like pulley with Brabus ECU tuning on a CLK 200K today. Will wait to see their dyno results soon.

MB C180K Coupe
I also drive a C180K and was thinking about this - how can so much extra power be generated without changing the pulley ?? I always thought boost was controlled via the pulleys on a S/C car ??
