JamE55, need info on KLEEMANN new low-boost Kompressor system
JamE55,
reading MB Enthusiast (Nov issue) :
"KLEEMANN has introduced a new low boost Kompressor system. Based on the company's current Kompressor System, the new version is without the integrated intercooler, boost has been cut from 0.45 to 0.30 bar, and fuel injectors have replaced the pressure regulator system. This Low Boost system is now available for the 3.2-litre V6 and will give 276 bhp and 265 lb/ft of torque. A Low Boost system for V8s is on the way."
Do you have any inside scoop on this ? Please PM or e-mail me.
Thanks !

Hmmmm...their site says a 25% reduction in price, and estimated crank gains of under 60hp. 7 grand for less than 60 horses (on the v6) still seems a little steep.
