What is this evosport pulley we are talking about? They make one for the V6 engines? Can I get a link?

All V6 3-Valve (1998-2006) Non-Kompressor evosport - Under-Drive Performance Pulley Kit - All Mercedes-Benz V6 & V8 (1998-2006) with 3-valve motors (not for Kompressor cars)

*Note: NOT for 350, 450 or 550 4-valve motors. - [EVO.PER.MV8.PK1]

I found this one....it says not for 350? I guess I'm out of luck then??

Hmm, that would work on the E500. I would need some dyno results before picked that up.

AMGtestdriver - i think you're out of luck with the evosport kit.

Well, I think I have got to the end of my mods "career", short of an engine swap!
1) S55 AMG 19X9 - AMG 2 piece 5 Spoke, repainted anthracite-y with the
outer rim polished.
2) Michelin PS2 - 295/30-ZR19 hanging out back. 265/35-ZR19 at front
3) E55 AMG Bi-Xenons - no headlight adjustment so for some reason I'm
driving around a bit squint and I just can't change it..
4) E55 AMG quad exhausts on
5) E55 AMG Euro COMAND - what a job this was! Had to source an AGW
and the wiring harness. Works great though. Love the AMG logo on
startup..if only..!!
6) E55 AMG OEM steering wheel..thought it would be thicker..shift buttons
don't work and I can't figure out how.
7) Smoked tail lights.
8) And now the biggest project (or the most expensive) work in progress -
E55 AMG 8 piston calipers+380mm discs at the front and E55 AMG 4
piston calipers + 355mm discs at the back. Would have been up and
running but "someone" lost the pad retainer pins to the left caliper . Ordered them and they are on their way..$30 each!!!!

Now if only i could get my hands on a fantastic E55 AMG engine..!!.
