Should I consider these mods
Watsup everybody so I bought a 2006 e55 with EC 83mm pulley and EC ecu tune and pump about a month ago and I was considering doing the following mods in a couple months, my budget is to stay under 1500 and eurcharged says they'll do these for that price, PLEASE take into consideration I drive the car once a week and very rarely drive it hard, also will these mods make me slower off the line? I am pushing around 530 right now I would like to be in the 570 range and be done with it, but I want the car to be faster off the line,thanks
I was thinking of doing
EC headers for 750 not the long tubes
EC belt wrap kit
EC heat exchanger
K and N filters
PS I live in CALI so it does get got here

Even the EC high flow headers will make a difference what gains should I expect and will I need a re tune?

Yep perfect. You should already have the 010 ic pump but check anyway then if I was you go for even more cooling before next round of mods.

If the EC BWK is similarity build (or even is his product) as a member's version I wouldn't do that. Reasons:
1.) kit generates even more stress on the strained screw holding the double pulley
2.) screws suffer bending and shearing strain
3.) compressor belt cannot be replaced without taking the whole BWK out again
4.) small tolerances an cause the extra pulley to in an angle and can cause breaking of the belt
Friend of mine works for MB as an engineer and designed and built his own BWK which is going to be installed in my car as soon as it's back from the shop. I'm happy to show pictures when it's installed.

Hi!
I'd be interested in the front calipers, just the passenger side if your willing to separate. Let me know how much shipped to Toronto Canada.

I would be interested in these pictures as well because so far I have only heard great things about the BWK shardul and EC sells

OK so back to your original comment how does this kit eliminate stress on the strained screw holding the double pulley since it does not have a brace. I would also think due to the absence of the brace the single additional pulley would have a tendency to get angel in as per your post.

Wh so defensive? I didn't say I was comparing the kit you're selling. I mentioned a member and EC in one sentence. With no word did I use shardul.
I have no intentions of taking your (side) business away or create competition. Hell its not even my product and I don't try to sell a single unit for him. I'm just stating the fact. Not more not less.

well you posted saying why they should not get our BWK, it is my my duty to respond, similar to the DAS thread
yes you stated something I just pointed out where you could be mis-informed.
it is all good

Unless your the owner of EC and I don't know that but feel free to enlighten me on that one. This is what I wrote
But like you said it's all good.
