CLK230-K Performance Upgrade?

Hi All!

I've just purchased a 2000 model CLK 230 Kompressor which is a lot of fun but really needs some more oomph particularly in the mid-range. I had an ECU remap done which produced a noticable improvement - I understand that the next step may be to go for some extra boost on the blower, and that there is a standard pulley replacement kit available to do this. I would appreciate any feedback members can provide on this (or another?) upgrade path. Also, is a K&N or Green Air Filter mod likely to produce a positive result with this type of architecture?

Cheers - Peter

K&N won't do any improvment on your car, go for Green filter or BMC filter.

if you're looking for power, just get a set of ODPS.
