Red '99 SLK230 Kompressor
Performance Upgrades for SLK230 Komp...?
Hey all, I am a newcomer to the Mercedes world. I just picked up a Red '99 SLK230 Kompressor on monday and love the car. Although I came from a Subaru with approx. 350hp. This was a big step down, and I am looking to get as much power out of this car is possible.
What can i do to get a lot of power out of this while keeping it reliable? And what kind of figures are we talking about? As well as where can I find these parts, new or used?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

my opinion cut back on the reliability - long term). Anyhow, you can chip it
and change the pullies to get around 213 hp/230 lb.-ft. Mod intake and exhaust to get more but not sure exactly how much. The Suburu like my VW turbo is a lot easier and cheaper to mod and end up with serious power. Good
luck with the mods and welcome to the MB family!
