Most the half dozen or so C32 owners I know road course their cars at MBCA events. I am interested but I would like to keep the intake temps in check for more than the first three gears.

So I was waiting for Vadim's Laminova IC core results. I have seen improvement in just separating the IC system from the main cooling for the engine.

Id love to get this mod but too fearful of warranty woes. My dealer is more than picky about any kind of mods Hopefully when the warranty is up, we will have bigger power mods available

Same concern here. But I was thinking that you could swap the pulleys back to stock if anything major happened.

Can the dealer easily tell that the evo pulleys are on when you go in for routine service? Do they check boost? Does their software warn of boost out of range or is it tracked on the black box?

The dealer would have to do a physical check, and likely a comparison of your pulleys to the stock pulleys (same color) in order to notice...unless they are driving it harder than you want them too!

But the Evo kit has more than just a pulley. It would not be "simple" to change out the ic reservoir, of course if you blew your engine, you would make changing the aftermarket parts out, a priority!

Sure you can! The IC reservoir upgrade is a modified windshield washier bottle and some plumbing. The reality of our kit, or any kit, is that the physical parts themselves most likely will never be noticed, it's the 30 additional hp at the wheels that gives the kit away.

Thanks,

Ben
