Yes.

You can put a compressor into any car provided you have enough money.

search around for Kleeman, they make an excellent package for the ML. You'll probably need to consider upgrading the wheels, brakes and suspension to properly handle the upgrade though.

your better off upgrading to an ML55 first, and then dishing out the 8-12k for a kompressor

Has anyone tried the $300 Upsolute chip upgrade in a ML55? My only mods so far are a Camaro style exhaust and a K&N filter. My next step might be to remove the resonator.

Do you know what the stock whell HP/TQ is supposed to be?

Thanks

'chipping' a normally aspirated engine.....

doesn't normally yield any significant power gain - typically they raise the rev limiter a little and perhaps adjust the throttle response to make the engine seem more powerful.

Overall - not something I'd recomend.

Now if the engine was super charged or better still - turbo charged then it'd be a whole different matter ;-)
