Just hoping someone will have information on any power modifications that can be carried out on a SLK320

Is it a diesel? If so, a remap.

Nope, it's not a diesel.

SLK320 is a 3.2 18v V6.

Brabus tuned that engine to 3.8 litres, as did Carlsson.
The cheapest option for an upgrade would be Kleemann, who will supercharge that engine to around 350bhp.

www.kleemann.dk

By far the cheapest option would be to sell your SLK320 and buy a SLK32 AMG, then DMS chip it and derestrict it.

Looked on the Kleeman site and cannot find anything. The Slk320 is now 8 years old and only covered 40,000 genuine miles and mint.

I do't realy want to sell it with it being such a great car and the benefits of my looking sfter the motor would only fall on someone else whildt, I would need to spend out to upgrade to a car of a likewise condition. Then it would not be a SLK32 but a 55. Most 32's would have now been ragged.

There must be a bolt ona turbo or something out in the big world that could give the torquey engine n extra boost. I got a little pi$$ed off recently when a ST Focus nearly blew me away it was neck and neck until we got to the top end where I started to pull away.

The car is not completely standard and is fitted with a Reiger bodykit
