M271 pulley + ECU tune combo
#27
I'm interested in how the ECU tune will combat the ECU nannies MB has in the ECU to prevent gains at the top end. No other tuner has been able to circumvent this to provide decent gains >4K (except Kleemann with the help of the K-box).

I'd stick with the proven Kleemann header.

Ask too see long term usage too. I made the mistake of buying a limited production aftermarket header, and while it worked, the design caused hot spots to eat the welds and burn up the cat. I cannot prove it, yet I'm certain this is what caused my engine failure (hole worn in piston).
I'd stick with the proven Kleemann header.

"The Supercharger on his car was different than the one in our shop. I have ordered his exact blower so we can get pulleys made for it as well. It's going to be a few weeks now.

so unless you have it dry stock and are mirroring his set-up piece by piece, i think its better to get it tuned in person.

yea i just picked the car back up today. the pulley they made doesnt fit our SC. my guess its the M111 SC. so as of right now theyre waiitng on a new SC so they can prototype a pulley probably 2-3 weeks. ALso about the dyno numbers, something is wrong with the dyno and they cant get tq numbers so we"ll see if the issue gets resolved by next time
