SC Blower PSI for 2000, C230K
What is the opinion of those tuning SuperCharger's on how much boost pressure could be feed through the stock C230K blower?
I see Kleemann on there pully uprade indicates 0.7bar. If one was to accept a shorter engine life could you increase pressure to say 1.0bar? Or would this result in overdriving the stock blower, ie; too many rpm's.
Would this require a piggyback ECU tuner like the Unichip to dial in ignition timing and fuel?
Or would it be better to replace the stock rods with Carillo's and the pistons with a forged piece like a JE piston?
I am looking at buying one of these cars and am just interested in some of this basic info so I cn make some informed engine tuning decsions before I buy.
Thanks,
Jeff

Dick Chang is agood guy. He did some work on my Audi and introduced me to Garrett of GIAC. I'm happy with the chips on my Audi but have no experience with Dynospot or GIAC when it comes to Mercs.
