It means the car has a supercharger, or a device used to increase the cars power, uses a drive belt to turn a type of turbine or "blower" to blow more air in to the engine, allowing the engine to inject more fuel and therefore more power!!!

The kompressor is a supercharged motor. They discontinued this in 2005 on the 4 cylinder, yet they still manufacturer it for the
larger V8.

a kompressor is a supercharger, unlike a turbo which operates on a build up of engine gases and additional power kicks in at certain revs, a kompressor is a belt driven unit directly of the engine given additional power continously

A Supercharger....Forced induction forcing air into the engine giving increased engine output, shame as turbocharger but supercharger is running on a pulley therefore running all the time from tick over to acceleration a turbo needs an increase in manifold expelled gases and has a LAG period until the turbo spins up...

It is German for Blowing your car.
Compressor used to blow things as in your autos supercharger .
Your Intake sucks and your kompressor Blows.
Sounds nasty but damn I wish I had a car or girlfriend that did that.
