Default How much boost???

I have just recently acquired a 2002 C230 Kompressor and I was wondering how much boost it runs stock? and how much can it be boosted to safely with no internal modifications?

Thanks a lot

I am surpised no one on this forum has answered this question.. it is usually some important information to know while upgrading your performance on a forced induction vehicle...

we are mostly not so keen on boost modifications but do understand how the system works.

it's just that i don't understand what you want. was it rated output or rated torque?

A supercharger creates boost, normaly anywere from 4 to 14 psi of boost and usualy you can change the pulley to get more boost or less boost.So the question is how much boost does the stock supercharger create.

i get it.

the charge pressure is about 500 millibar or 7.25 PSI.

i believe it can handle up to 12 PSI.
