CLK230 Supercharged?

[Mercedes Ben]

Hi everyone,

I know this will sound like I have no idea about my MB, but is the 99 CLK230 Komp really supercharged? I was complaining the other day to a mate at the local drinking hole that my merc was pretty gutless and he told me that it could be the supercharger.

thanks mate, that looks more like it. Any suggestions on how to get more oomph out of it? It does feel very sluggish. Any way to check if it is working properly?
