in need for clarification. PLEASE!!!!
I know there are lots of post on different forums on aftermarket performance parts, but none of the ones I have read give any definitive answers. Most of them are years and years old. I have searched and searched for almost two months for parts for this car. I have been into the Honda and Nissan world for past 8ish years, and never had a problem. Any help would be greatly appriciated. please no flames on this post. I know this sounds like a noob post. BTW its an 04 c230 k, m271.

Unfortunately the market for Honda and Nissan performance parts is way larger then the market of performance parts for MB. What kind of parts are you searching for?

Appreciate the replies. However, these pulley kits mentioned are. MIA, I found them for the 2.3, but not the 1.8. I only ask for help with this because I am so frustrated with my inability to find parts for this motor. I've considered swapping the motor for a bigger one, but it seems like there are more electronic parts that need changed than makes this a feasible job, as far as money. Again, any help with locating these parts would be greatly appreciated.

That is pretty much the situation. There just is not a large demand for them. Sometimes you find them used but finding Coupe parts is a search and be ready to pounce when you see them type thing.

I managed to find the Kleeman boost kit, but it was on a European website. It ask me to choose my country, but USA wasn't an option. Can anyone give me some web addresses to check out the pricing and info on the Kleeman,RENNtech, and Brabus parts please.... I really don't understand why I'm having so much trouble finding this stuff... 
Thanks for all the replies everyone 
. I do love my coupe, just want it to have more guts when I hit the pedal.
