FS Kleeman Pulley kit
From my 02 C230K. We might be getting another car so we don't need this any longer. It's been on the car for about two months. Includes Crank pulley, alt pulley and belt. Pretty easy install that you can do in your driveway with basic tools.
HUGE difference in power.
$700 OBO.

Well first of all you get the belt and alt pulley with it. (I was under the impression you only got the pulley from ASP). Second of off you don't have to take the stock pulley of to install this which makes it cake to install/uninstall if you have to take it in for service.
The dealership saw the pulley and didn't say anything about it because "We've delt with Kleeman cars before". The service manager also said the only way it would effect a warranty claim is if the supercharger went bad or their was engine damage due to detonation/lack of proper fuel.

There is no way you will sell that boost kit for that price especially where there are better alternatives around and Kleemann itself will sell that same kit second hand for less than $400. I have this kit and only bought it because it was $300 and that was with a new alternator pulley and belt.

Well, the belt is like $15, and the welded and balanced ASP pulley is far more sturdy in construction than the ring attached with screws. Since I can get a New ASP one for 350 after core exchange, and I can get a pulley install done for 50, I'd rather go with the better constructed, new pulley and have enough money left over for 7 pulley installs, if I ever need to go back to stock.

For the M271 (1.8L) it is probably better to get an ECU upgrade than the pulley as there are only a few companies that make a pulley and the ECU gives you a fair amount of power.
And if we include the new B200 Turbo into this conversation, it is awesome just to get the chip as you will be already pushing 225HP.
So it al depends on which car you have.
In conclusion, 2.3 get hte pulley, 1.8 get the ECU.

There really isn't much in the way of headroom on the M271, its running 11psi, and conventional wisdom is that an M45 is only good for 12psi... you do the math. Additionally, the M271 uses the same intercooler, and basically the same supercharger as the M11. On the M111 going higher in boost than the 10psi that the standard size overboost pulley provides results in limited additional HP because of the added heat. If I had an M271, I'd look to replace the intercooler, and the supercharger with a more efficient unit.
There's supposedly a variant of this engine without the supercharger, its used in the C160, this M271 makes a rather pathetic 120HP...so the supercharger is going to have to do a lot of work.
