Question for Kleemann: What will it take ...

What will it take for you guys to finally make a s/c for the M 119 motor. There are a lot of deserving SL 500's and heavy weight S 500's who would really benefit from the added power of a blower system !

Sorry I missed this one- I have not been to the board in a few days.

KLEEMANN will not produce a SC for the M119 engine. It is our philosophy to work forward from our origins, not back. The M112 and M113 engines will be replaced soon, we have our work set with the new engines. We have also been concentrating R&D efforts on M112 and M113 tuning products such as cams, headers, limited slip differentials and scissor doors. The market is not there world wide for a project of the bredth and scope a M119 SC requires.

.............Consider mosselman turbo or you can even have a custom turbo built for the price of a Kleemann supercharger.
