I think the renntech option includes fitting? Not sure though. One major downside though - they're in the USA I believe!

I think they were started by a couple of ex-AMG, or ex-Brabus guys. Well so the story goes....

From what I understand its about 20K to have the engine installed and running, presuming you get the car to them.

400hp plus though and bags of torque in a standard looking engine bay, perfect!

I also have an ML500 and did wonder about tuning it (well I am building a twin turbo BMW V12 powered mid engine car lol)..... my biggest concern would be the drivetrain, can the auto box handle that kind of power with 4wd and HUGE tyres all round (275's on mine)?

You'd also need to upgrade the suspension as they are hardly well controlled in the corners (again mainly due to the huge tyres IMO).

Gotta say that you have my attention, and considering the car my vote is for the supercarger.

anyone know the rough cost of the procharger?

Best place to go in the UK is John Sleath.

The man has run 7.'s at over 180mph with his Procharger.

My company offers both the Kleeman and Mosselman supercharger systems for the ML.

Please email me if any info is needed.

Thanks
