2005 C230k sedan Performance Mods?? *help*

Hey guys,

I just went and test drove the 2005 W203 C230K and I liked it very much. The only thing that this car is lacking is a little power. I think i'd be completely happy with it if it had somewhere around 230hp.

Now i've been looking on many different forums including this one but am having an increasingly hard time finding companies (tuners) that offer performance upgrades for the c230k. Something affordable would be nice as well.

Now my question..

Can you guys write down a list of all the companies that offer performance upgrades for this car.

Also who here has already done mods to the c230k? who's running the most HP?

I'd apreciate all the help you guys have to offer.

Thank You
-Danny

You may want to contact Dyno Sport Racing for some of the work they have done on a 230 compressor. Take a look at the dyno page http://www.dynospotracing.com/komp.htm

Don't know the cost but probably reasonably.

good luck...
