Pulley Upgrade? dynospot, vaeth or Brabus
Anyone considering pulley upgrade?
dynospot is the cheapest and like a few miles from my house, but not sure of their quality of the kit, havent heard real testimonials from people
heard good stuff about vaeth from the SLK board, $1500 for the kit, not bad
Brabus kit is $3000 but includes an exhaust
only dynospot includes a chip upgrade. vaeth said the chip is not necessary.
I worry about the warranty too. is the pulley and chip transparent to the dealer's diagnostic computer?

Depending on who you get the chip from, it will be invisible to the computer. I don't know about the pulley, but I would thick the increased boost would be measurable. If the mechanic test drives the car, the mods will definitely be noticed.
Don't forget about Wetterauer. They offer a discount to members of this board. http://www.chip-tuning.com/introUSA3.html
Renntech also has a pulley kit. http://www.renntechmercedes.com/
Upsolute is claiming their chip will give increases similar to the pulley kits. Price is $325. I have read testimonials on VW and Audi forums saying they are a good company and their products perform as stated. http://www.upsolute.com/eng/index.html

They also warranty there modifacations. There chip will be here in January, keep in mind the also warranty the computer after the install of the chip. There is a diffrence between chip upgrades, for example they Dyno their own chips for best performance.
IMO renntech is the best tuner for mercedes they will get you the best performance available.

Randy - I meant to ask you about this before. Do you have Renn's spoiler extension? I noticed on your pics earlier.
If so, how do you like it? How much? Thanks!
