Kleemann SC owner, will you recommend...?
I always want to get Kleemann SC installed in my V6.
I know, it is not worth, I can't get much power, and....
But, after reading Peter's story, I am wondering,
Will you recommend Kleemann?

EVen though Peter has had some issues with his Kleemann, yes i would still recommend them. Do you think there's a "perfect" tuner out there?
If you look at his thread the shop who installed it is doing their best to resolve the problem.
Although i'm not sure if Kleemann still makes a s/c application for your V6 though.

Has HPS straightened it's act out? Man I've read some horror stories about the Gen II. Anyone recently installed an HPS S/C....I mean for nearly 6 grand less...if they got their tuning issues worked out...it might not be worth selling my low mileage 210...I only have 34K...the car is like new. I really like the interior, I really like the W210 center dash, but that W211 power

The Kleemann s/c made sense back when JamE55 and I got it. The W211 E55's were $80K, the CLK 55's were $75K and only had 350HP. Now you can get a W211 E55 for $30K and a CLK55 or W210 E55 for $15K. I don't see the advantage at this time of a Kleeemann s/c. You can sell your E320 for almost the same ammount it will cost you to get a W210 E55 which will be faster and MUCH MUCH MUCH less hassle than supercharging your E320 at twice the cost. Makes no sense to me. To me, market forces have made the Kleemann s/c's not that attractive in 2008. An 05 CL600 today is $30K. Why supercharge? I like Kleemann but I think their next big wave will come if they develop forced induction for the 63's. I understand they are working on it. As far as modifications for the AMGV8K, VRP group seem to be taking over.

Exactly what i have now. The nice interior (full silver CF) of my W210 with the W211 power and more!
Ted does make a good point here. Should be interesting to see VRP's s/c kit once it's completed. Heard that Kleemann has a source for twin screw but too expensive. We'll see....

Is VRP working on a SC for the W210? I thought they only had parts for the W211 ??

I totally agree with the money issue. It really not worth to invest her any further. But, it is hard for me to separate with her at this time. I am thinking about keep her for another 100,000 miles. 
Maybe, not a good idea.
Maybe Kleemann should make the price.

Get a used twin-screw Kleemann like I did. I think you can find one in good condition for $6K. Buying the new Eaton roots design Kleemann just does not make the same power as the Autorotor twin-screw design.
The difference between the 2 is signficant in terms of price and power.

Im really intrested.
