03 C230K mods?
Hey guys, I was just trying to research some power-adders for the 1.8L engine that's in the '03 c230s and can't really find much in the way of pulley's, exhausts, etc. The one company I did see was asking some RIDICULOUS $2K for a pulley kit and about $2K for headers. No way I'm paying that much lol. If someone could point me to a store or perhaps drop some company names I should look into, I'd really appreciate it. I only want to increase the boost w/ pulley, exhaust, and maybe some suspension mods (sway bar, springs, and a strut bar). Thanks in advance and to the flamers, there's a *****load of threads which makes searching difficult and I wind up flooded with 2.3L info. lol :p

There's very little that you can do to the M271, without investing some bucks, some time, and a little risk.
CAI and pulleys are a waste of time and money. The car is nearly maxed boost wise, and the stock intake is just fine. A chip, a better intercooler, and headers will likely give you some real gains.
