Decent mods

hey guys im new to the forum.

you guys have been very helpful and finally Mbworld sent me the activation so i can post.

yeap its another mod post

what kind of engine mod can i do with my car. i remember that you can get the renntech pulley but is that to expensive

i am wondering if they sell a package with ECU and PUlley upgrade an
and how much improvement can i see.
if i install a sprintbooster or do i have to after the ECU flash would the car be more responsive.

a new intercooler would be good is it?

and also what kind of after market rims can i put i like bbs a lot but
i like to have comfort too because my mom uses the car a lot
and i also want mods that wouldnt mess with my warranty i paid extra for.

yeap i tried searching but it doesnt really find a lot thanks in advance.

STFF a lil more to get all your info, or merely sift through recent posts.

cant get anymore RENNtech pullies. i aparently bought the last one of production. That will void your warranty too, so might not want to risk it if your concerned with warranty issues.

kleeman has a bosst kit that is pulley, ecu piggy-back, and fuel pressure regulator. fairly pricey kit, but welcome to the life of Mercedes, heh.

you can flash the ecu or do sprint booster. depends on what your looking for as well as price.

wheels, your opening pandora's box. possiblities are endless as well as tire sizes.

my advice, rather then have the info given to you, search around a bit. all your questiosn have been asked a thousand times over, so the info is DEFINELTY out there. just takes some patience.


good luck and welcome to the boards.

yeap thanks about that renntech stuff

i posted this forum so i can have a direct answer and i dont want to hi jack somebody.

and also for the wheels and tires stuff im looking on upgrading on 18" or even 19" but im scared the ride quality because my uncle has a e50k with 20" and when i took a ride on it i thought the car has leaf springs

im going from stock 17's to 18's. most ppl on here usually run 19's, then 18's are second to popularity. just make sure when/if you get wheels, it doesnt look like your 4 wheelin


good luck
