Hey man as far as turbos and superchargers go Kleemann has a supercharger probabaly for your car www.kleemann.dk . As far as nitrous goes don't put that stuff on your car man you wont have one it rips the engine apart in a few days. I had a 2001 CL and I put NOS on it and I blew the engine. Remenber your not running a honda so cheap hp isn't gonna cut it. Pay the money and have a supercharger on it.

I must disagree with Streetburner,
Jay97 If you want to put NOS (Nitrous) go ahead, just make sure it is installed correctly and you have the right hardware for your engine to accept it.
you can blow your engine if you don't put timing retard module, windows switch, non platinum plugs, etc.

And anither question they why don't the tuners use NOS for the reason that it rips apart the engine componets. Mercedes engines are so different when it comes to steel or aluminum they don't follow US or Japaness cars at all. Thats what makes them so damn good.
Look, I know for a fact no tuner recomends nitrous and anyways its like gas you have to refill the bottle everytime its empty where as a supercharger you never have to refill or worry about engine damage its just a bolt on basically.:p

nitrous is never good in anysort of way for an engine.
infact all forms of forced induction put strain on the engine...however superchargers and turbos will have minimal effects when responsibly installed by a tuner like Evo Sport

I'm not going to argue that NOS is better than a supercharger, I'd go with supercharger myself if I had 17k to put in my car.
As far as tuners there is a very respectable American car tuner that offer NOS systems as upgrade MTI,

Then again i don't know of any foreign car tuner that offers NOS, but I do know of a few people in this forum running NOS in their cars (I don't know how much they are shooting, this might be an important factor on their success) and so far they haven't blown their engines.
