I think the consensus has been the turbo itself could be mounted, but tuning would be the issue. There is no Mercedes specific kit, so you would have to get the generic kit and custom fab (weld) the piping. Also, I'm pretty sure from looking at it that you'd want to run the twin turbo kit, for ease of installation, which would boost the cost a good bit.
Here's another thread on this: https://mbworld.org/forums/clk55-amg...t-4-000-a.html
This would be really cool, though, if someone were to pursue it and then particularly if a vendor were to market the specific necessary pre-fabbed piping.
