    Upgrading a c230 to a c230k

    Hey everyone i have a 1998 c230 and I was just wondering is their anyway that I would be able to upgrade the engine to get the same response or if not exactly identical power of a c230k? I know alot of you must think its a waste of money but if its not an insane project i would really like to give my c230 a boost or a lil push

    There is much more to the 230K than merely an added supercharger...

    Yep. 230K's prices are falling and you can find a 99 230k pretty cheap. That would be the much better investment vs. modding what you already own.

    Then it sounds like you need to search the term "turbo" here on club202.com.

    I have done a CAI, chip, and exhaust with my 230 NA, and I can say that those things definitely helped with the power.

    since you didnt pay for the c230 trading it in for a kompressor would be the right thing....short and simple hehehe and if you want that extra edge buy a sport
