Performance parts for the 230 k???
Hey im new to this forum. I just bought my 05 230 aut. 8 months ago. I was looking for performance parts for it? chip, header, exhaust, pulley?. I read a little and i found the kleemann pulley kit helps alot. I just bought the Renntech intercooler upgrade. Here are pics! 
How much hp will it give? Can you guys help me out? What kind of performance parts are already out there? and others coming soon? What more power in the daily driver since i just put the 19's on!
PD- I Also tested the car for fun with the 19's gave one pass. 16.4@82! Soon ill give another one how it is! after the pass i noticed i didn't have no fuel! i just want to gain what i lost with the 19's!

Even eople over at maxima.org are more willing to help when you ask a question about MODs, but I don't know why people just keep telling you to "search" over here?
For performance upgrades myself is looking into:
-www.powerchip.com (they offer ECU flash that is good for 18HP w/ 93 octane fuel) for the 1.8L
-www.brabus.com (They have some nice exhaust and/or muffler)
-http://www.eisenhaus.com (They have the best bang for the buck exhaust system
-http://www.kleemannusa.com (They have pulley kit, but very expansive)
-EVOsports.com (I heard they are developing headers and pulley kit, maybe you want to contact them and ask?)
Thats all I can think of off my head, hope this helps~

Renntech has an IC upgrade? Didn't even realize that. Is this for the m271 or the m111? Should be interesting. I don't think it'll gain that much, but wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of gain.

it's been researched before (the intercooler) as well, just search renntech here and take a look at the before and after dynos.
I'm posting in this thread for the obvious reasons of course.

In theory, the renntech one should work just fine on the M111 or the M271.

basically you lie to the ECU to make it react to your lie and by doing so it actually goes ahead and adds fuel, advances or retards timing ...etc without you having to go insided the computer and reprogram it .
supposedly the kleeman k-box messes with your a/f ratio, messes with the stock air bypass valve, and enhances the feel of drive by wire.

I would really love to know how much it costs on its own
