NEED HELP KLEEMANN SUPERCHARGER

Anyone know of a good tech mechanic shop in the Houston area that can help with Kleeman - Mercedes SLK AMG 55 problems ? No luck at one dealer after 6 weeks of effort. I may have to go to Colorado Springs (Kleemann home) to get it fixed.

I can also be reached at

rrman9999@yahoo.com

I am Bruce.

What's going on with it? Have you tried to contact Kleemann directly for advice/ help?

Shows "check engine light", A LIGHT SPUTTER (SLIGHT LOSS OF POWER) and #5 misfires. AFTER DEALER REPAIR it passes compression checks. I have got it back from the dealer in the afternoon and 3 times it is perfect ..... (no check engine light, full power no misfires) until the next morning when I do a "cold start". THEN the check engine light comes on and it starts misfiring. The Kleeman chip was sent from the dealer to Cory for inspection and testing and Cory said it was ok.

Cory at Kleemann has tried to help my dealer a lot over the last 6 weeks.

I need an expert in Houston or it will be trucked to Kleemann in Colo Sorings for Cory to repair. It is a shame that Kleemann has no repair specialist in the 4th largest city in the US.

Thanks for your reply.

I can be reached at rrman9999@yahoo.com or my cell at 713 504 2207. Bruce
