I wonder why they discontinued it... lack of market? liability issues? problems with the product?

When I bought the Kleemann M271 performance kit, it came with the Pulley, K-Box as well as the K&N Air Filter. I did not have the K-Box installed as my current ECU has been chipped by MKB of Germany. My K-Box is still homeless, anyone interested ? Offer me a price.

If I'm not mistaked, Kleemann USA imported 5 kits and sold out. Who's to say another US Kleeman dealer didn't import more units? And who's to say someone in the US didn't import a kit from a dealer outside the US, or from Kleemann themselves? I *almost* ordered one from through British dealer when I still had my C230K. I think it's foolish to think only 5 of this kits exist in the USA.

Yawn.

I think it is time you gentlemen MAN UP and post a yes or no for the masses here. As you guys know (from our private conversations) I am never purchasing from you guys, but will buy from a German pulley group soon..

The "men" who created all the discombobulation in this thread are behaving like women...

I think it is time you kids locked this thread... Obviously none of us here have any money or could not afford another car...



This thread really ticks me off, because it is one BIG LIE...

This whole thread is a lie...

Time to close this thread kids... nothing to see---

Of course not, because the gains aren't there to be had with just a pulley and by the time you chip it you probably could have had the same gains with the chip alone, probably 10 ponies.
