why would you think an intercooler would increase hp ? an FMIC will not let you suffer any heat soak in hot weather and thats about it. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but if you have an 05 K there should be a small fmic behind the center bumper opening. look into an ECU and pulley kit.

Evosport is working on a pulley kit, Kleemann and Renntech have one out already. Those are you best bang for the buck upgrades for power. You can try some aftermarket filters and mufflers to see if you can pickup an pony or two but that's not a good bang for the buck and can actually lose power. Kleemann is also testing a header/cat that should give you a few more ponies. As for IC's, I don't know who still makes one, maybe Vaeth in Germany.

thank you to all those that replied! Im new to this modding stuff for benz's and you guys have just given me the replies that i was hoping for, straightforward and honest...thanks very much...i have been debating about the Kleeman pully and ecu...and thats probably the one i'll go with...now i'll just have to live with the fact that mbusa will void my warranty

again, thanks guys, im always on this page hahaha

btw....and exhaust wont really do much for hp gains huh?

Looks great! You'll never want to drive another car without b-xenons. If I'm correct, did you replace your turn signal bulbs??? It has a blue tint. I replaced them on my car. Bluish tint, but still reflect amber when you actually use the turn signal.

No, they are the EURO BIX, the turn signal is diferent: pic1(left Euro, rigth US)

and the inside is also diferent: pic2(left US, rigth Euro) among other things (Euro BIX have manualy up & down nivelation and left & rigth)

it took a couple of months for Steve (MBenzNL) to find me EURO Bi-X for my Coupe too, but once I got 'em, I fell in love with them ! Completely changed the front look of the car. Aggressive and classy at the same time ! The blue tinted / amber blinking turn signal is a nice plus. I have them on my EURO Bi-X too, but was surprised to find out that SYLVANIA does not make SilverStars 2357A.

Gaiex, do you know what make / number your blue-amber turn signals are ?
I need another pair for my wife's EURO Bi-X !!

I don't know, I haven't looked yet, I will take a look when I have a break
Does the lamps have make and model stamped on it? other way I can't tell you

Maybe tomorrow or next day, I'm on vacations and I stilled the XKR of my father
