Check below for some photos, and you can browse through our entire selection of Magnuson Supercharger Systems here.

  • MSRP of US$9,995 including calibration

  • Installs can usually be completed within one day.

  • Also available as an “Engine Kit” and a “Tuner kit”. POA.


Additional Notes from Manufacturer: 


Since the supercharger does not compress air as it moves through the rotors, it’s extremely efficient during light throttle and cruising situations. Unlike screw-type positive displacement superchargers that are always compressing, the TVS unit can internally bypass unwanted air, resulting in negligible parasitic loss during cruising and therefore far greater fuel economy.


The single cast unit and appropriately sized rotating group eliminates potential leak points and allows for a slim, compact design without sacrificing key airflow design characteristics. The unit features a high velocity flow path through the supercharger rotors and an unrestricted discharge port into the appropriately sized plenum. The large plenum equalizes flow across all ports as air feeds evenly through the low-pressure-drop, dual internal air-to-water charge air coolers. Finally, the ports are separated into individual runners, offering greater operation by eliminating cross-fire.

Customer"s CLA 45 with Fairy Design Carbon Fiber Front Lip



One of our loyal customers, Jonathan Teixeira (IG: @jonabrasa), just purchased and installed a Fairy Design carbon fiber front lip on his CLA 45 Benz. Fairy Design is known as the Japanese creator of custom aftermarket body kits – they can turn your luxury performance car into a completely new creation. Fairy Design uses the newest 3D digital technology throughout their design process to ensure the highest quality in all their products.


A front lip spoiler is the perfect way to add some additional exterior style to your vehicle in a subtle manner. It gives a daily driven vehicle a more aggressive and race-inspired appearance. Aside from changing the look of your car, front spoilers increase traction and handling by adding downforce to the front end of your car. This puts more pressure on the front wheels giving the driver more control. It’s all about the aerodynamics! Be sure to check out the photos below featuring Jonathan’s CLA 45, as well as our entire collection of Fairy Design products here.

  • Light Weight

  • Carbon Construction

  • Added Styling

  • One Piece Design

MANSORY Refines the Mercedes GLE 63 AMG with a Beastly Wide Body

The Mercedes-Benz GLE 63 AMG is not only aggressive from the outside, but is also mean under the hood. This sporty crossover features a 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged M157 V8, one of the finest engines to ever come out of AMG’s assembly plant in Affalterbach, Germany.  MANSORY is known for taking luxury and supercars, and turning them into bigger works of art. So when  MANSORY got their hands on the Mercedes GLE 63 AMG, it was pretty obvious that this beast was going to reach some new potential. Check out the official release from MANSORY below, as well as the gorgeous photos that follow of the new wide body GLE 63 AMG. You can also browse through Vivid Racing’s entire selection of impressive MANSORY products here.


Press Release: All over the world, the name MANSORY is synonymous with the refinement of luxury cars. With the new programme for the Mercedes GLE 63 AMG the company in Brand, Bavaria, once again recommends itself as the top address for sporty accessories, powerful increases in performance and an exciting body design.


Sporty elegance characterizes the look of the MANSORY body modifications: The larger air intakes in the new front spoiler in conjunction with the perfectly integrated daytime running lights and a lift reducing front lip in visible carbon give the GLE 63 an even more dynamic look. A weight-optimised bonnet completes the new-designed front. Impressive widening of 30 millimetres to the front and rear wheel arches is decisive in creating the design makeover’s overall powerful impression. The new side skirts, that have been so modelled that the airflow along the side is quieter, give the SUV coupe a lower and more stretched appearance. In order to reduce the lift on the rear axle MANSORY fits an elegant spoiler to the Mercedes’ original tailgate and combine this with a diffusor rear spoiler for additional downforce.


Fitting to the striking appearance MANSORY uses SPIDER rims with the XXL dimensions of 23 inches. The ultra-light, forged rim was specially developed for the increased requirements of formidable SUV’s. The recommended wheel-tyre combination is size 11×23 for front and rear axles, with tyres size 305/35/23. The new light alloy rims come into the spotlight as a result of the lowering module for the pneumatic suspension. If wished, this lowers the centre of gravity on the GLE 63 by up to 30 millimetres and significantly improves the handling during fast cornering.


With a powerful performance increase MANSORY offers the centrepiece of its GLE refinement programme. The scope of the upgrade includes a sports silencer, a sports air filter and a new motor management. As a result the aggregate of the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 has an output of ca. 840 PS /618 kW and the torque is increased to 1150 Nm. In addition, the top speed is 45 km/h higher than standard.


A highlight of the interior is the ergonomically redesigned sports steering wheel. Due to its new form it feels more comfortable in the hand and still offers all the functions that can be found as standard. In MANSORY’s own upholstery department the steering wheel is coated with finest leather with applications of visible carbon – which fits perfectly to the luxurious full leather interior.

RENNtech"s Stage I Turbo Upgrade for Mercedes AMG GT-S (C190)

The Mercedes GT-S is the second Mercedes-Benz vehicle fully developed by AMG, the company’s Affalterbach-based performance division and long fabled engine builder. The resulting vehicle is nothing short of spectacular and its 4.0L V8 BiTurbo engine is an incredible platform to build performance upon.


RENNtech lightweight forged billet turbo wheels feature a dramatically larger than stock impeller (inlet side) and an increase in the turbine trim (exhaust side). This combination of high quality, lightweight components compensates for turbo lag despite being a functionally larger turbo. The cartridge supporting shaft is also larger and stronger, therefore designed to handle the larger wheels and additional power. This entire cartridge is then fine balanced as a complete assembly to compensate for these increases. The impeller and turbine housings are then precision CNC machined and flow tested in-house to fit the larger internal cartridge. The end result includes gains up to 180 hp and 161 lb-ft of torque.


More power isn’t the only performance benefit as RENNtech’s turbos spool quicker, and offer a more responsive throttle and immediate power delivery thanks to a reduction in exhaust back pressure, rolling resistance, higher RPM’s and a lighter rotating mass. In addition, their turbo upgrade kit functions with the OEM oil and coolant lines. This isn’t just an OEM turbo charger with machined internals; but a dramatically larger, more powerful turbocharger that blows away anything else on the market!


The RENNtech performance turbo upgrade is truly the ultimate upgrade for your AMG GT-S. Check out the key features of this product and some images below. You can also browse through all RENNtech products here.
