Your worst nightmare...
Need Help- trying to turn my Brother's C32 into a monster!!
So my little borther has a C32 
, he would like to add a few perfomance upgrades. I haven't been in the C32 section for some time now...so I am assuming the best power adders are:
Headers- Whis is best brand? or best bang for buck..
Pulley- What size pulley should he buy? brand?
Heat Exchanger- I know everyone uses Code3....
Tune- I have heard that LET tune is the *****!!
Am I missing something else? Cams, TB? Sorry I had an E55K and had these items, don't know if they have them for the C32
Any body has some used items?
Any Input is greatly appreciated. He may have a race lined up with a turbo 335 after all is said and done.

Congrats to your brother. His best bet is to look at LET and/or C3Ps website. Options listed below:
Pulleys - LET 181, 185, Code 3 Performance (C3P) supercharger pulley
Heat Exchanger - C3P (with the HE its best to get the upgraded pump - CM30/90
Headers - VRP, LET, evosport shorties. I am pretty sure the VRP and Evosport are very similiar.
Tune - LET, VRP, Powerchip, there is a long list....
You are missing the intake. He can either go with the C3P intake mod, or LET has a sweet full intake setup. There is another one out from NEEDSWINGS but I am not 100% that will be a direct bolt on for the 32.

I can't speak for ///AMG4EVER, but I presume it is due to the lack of customer support and length of time it has taken some to receive parts from them (C3P). They have good stuff but they have been extremely hard to get a hold of as of late and some have waited months for parts to arrive that have been paid for in advance.

Or do you share the same presumed experience, too?
There had been other threads posted by members sharing the same experience with other respected aftermarket tuners in this forum, too.
I think these are isolated cases rather than the norm.
I've never had a problem with CP3's delivery response time.

So you're presuming this is ///AMG4EVER's experience and not your's?

wow man...thats probably why he said I can't speak for ///AMG4EVER???
CP3's delivery times have slipped as of late. Hence why we were joking calling them code 3 months to deliver. And I was one of those waiting as well... ///AMG4EVER and a few of us got the sc intercooler and waited months for delivery of a product that had serious issues. I can pretty positively tell you that is the reason that he will not go back to C3P....

I'm not bashing C3P so please don't take it as such. I am just trying to help a potential customer make an informed decision.

CP3 R U listening
CP3 r u getting all of this?
Two major things to remember.
Quality
Service
I think the best is yet to come.
Otherwise, I'm happy with the C3 Pulley and C3 Intake

Thank you SilverBulletAMG and loungn14. We are here in a daily basis reading about members' concerns and frustrations.
The OP asked about the best possible route to mod the C32 and we all know no other company has done more for the C32 community than LET Motorsports; price and performance-wise backed up by great customer service.
On the other hand, you have Code 3 Poorformance. If you regularly visit the C32 section, you will find plenty of threads and posts by dozens of members asking about when are their products shipping, when can they get an answer, why this and why that?
If I have to make a recommendation regarding this matter, I will simply point it in the best direction. All this based on history, first hand experience and documented stories from other members.
That's the main reason of my original post.

What ever happened to the Renntech ECU and ASP Pulley combo? It did wonders for my previous C32; I must have had an anomaly..
I mean, every C32 I see .... only a short few have had the Trap Speed success I achieved with the previous setup...

FWIW, I could've sworn those 113-117 trap speeds in LET C32's were achieved while spraying nitrous (from what I remember reading) ... I could be mistaken.
