KOMPRESSOR is actually a German term for compressor, or supercharger. The word was noted recently for its use on the last-generation Mercedes 4-cylinder 190 HP SLK.

Superchargers differ from turbochargers mainly in being engine-driven rather than exhaust-driven......thus they suffer little if any lag like turbos usually do, run at cooler tempratures, and do not need added hardware or intercoolers.

Thanx Marshall, I know what kompressor means, they have been on the Benz's for years, just that I didn't know that Ward has named their body kit/brakes/supercharger package for the SC430 "SC43 Kompressor " because I haven't visited the Japanese site Henry provided, I' ve seen them on THIS SITE where that specific name isn' t mentioned.
