Brad and I have decided that we will take you up on that bet! I know your house is worth much more than this project

Unfortunately, betting you guys would create a perverse incentive for you to turn my car into an extremely overpriced Yugo... as for all of you who are not affiliated to Evosport, I have total confidence in Vadim so yes, my house is on the table... it is in Los Altos Hills, set on 1 acre and is currently undergoing expansion form 4000 to 5000 sq. ft.. Make sure you can afford the property tax, it ain't cheap. Where's Linh when you really need someone to bet?

Not a problem, as long as I have my engine cover, he can have a 6x6 and a large milk shake too! :p

Hank,

I have not yet completely 100% decided to get the S/C. If I do, it should be in June (and depends on the wife).

Retail for the Kleemann supercharger on the 55 engines is $18,795 installed. It's definitely a lot of money, but over $1,200 less than 20k. (I'm not trying to correct you, I just get about 3 calls a week from people who are confused on the pricing).

Well, for California residents:

$16,995 + tax ($1402) + install ($1800) + rental car for 2-3 weeks

= a tad bit under $21,000.

Jcjmw and many of our Kleemann customers are not California residents. For those who must use a CA address, OC tax is 7.75% (only on parts), which comes to $1,317.11.

Installation takes about 1 week.

SC Swap-

I know I am not talking about swapping out the SC on an E55 but the Kleemann SC project for my vehicle has me on the edge of my seat. (not even sure if it is still active)

So reading through this thread it seems as though one could expect a certain "issue curve" or a grace period where things may or may not be completely satisfactory but everyone involved is working through the issues to find a resolution.

Hank, you seem to be taking it over the edge. Are you saying that there is genuinely a problem with the craftsmanship of the Kleemann product or the workmanship of the people at Evosport?
