performance mods: '03 C230k sedan

What type of performance upgrades are available for the 1.8 engine?
Sounds like no pully kits are available...
What about "Powerchip"? Do they work?
Best performance-to-cost mods?
Thanks.

There is a pulley kit available. It's made by Carlsson and its not cheap. In addition, you may want to search the forum about upgrading the ecu. There is some very helpful info regarding powerchips just as recent as last week. Other mods are avail. what are you looking to accomplish? Handling or max hp?

Thanks, will do.
When did Carlsson come out with the pulley kit for 1.8? was it recent or I've just been blind? and... how much are they?
Don't suppose anyone has one installed? if so, how do you like it?
I'm looking for hp boost, for now.
