BOV for C230 K Coupe?
Has anyone added a BOV to their c230K Coupe? I am not really looking to add it for the sound, but rather to extend the life of the S/C by relieving backpressure when shifting if there is air in the tubes.
Thanks,
Erik

Young, that was one of my best finds, a genuine BOV that will work on any car. Wonder if anyone on the forum bought it.

Also, does the '02 coupe and the '03 coupe (different engines) both have the BOV or only one or the other.

I heard 2 MB with BOVs. Reiger SLK with the SLK230 had some vortech one installed. Sounds crazy. Also, Lu1026 with the silver C280 has one too. The SLKs is way louder and crazy. Buell you remember James car?
