Whoa. That looks freaking sweet, and you say you notice some performance gain?. This is music to my ears.

Do you have a thread that lists all the parts and procedure in doing this conversion?

I would love to give it a try on my C240 if within a reasonable budget.

Spent dozens of hours searching for a smaller supercharger w203 pulley for my 1.8l. Anyone know where to buy? Kleeman has a kit with the pulley and tune, but I already have a eurochargrd tune. They won't just sell the pulley.

Any ideas on where to find a pulley? Is this a DIY install? Doesn't seem like it..
