SL55 supercharger clutch bearing :(

My engine was making a little more noise than usual, so I popped the hood to find this: http://imgur.com/UkmmDOH

Well crap. Could anyone point me to a replacement bearing? Is this an opportunity to do any performance upgrades, too?

Thanks, all.

Happy new year!

Go for a true Japanese bearing not a china knock off. You can buy a smaller pulley, more power, for around $400, VR speed and Eurocharged have them.

A replacement pulley from MB is $1400

Awesome, thanks so much. We're talking about the supercharger clutch at the very top, right (right about here: https://i.imgur.com/KJs736g.gif)? My Mercedes mechanic is telling me "this is not the supercharger pulley, it's the clutch bearing." I'll check out VR Speed and Eurocharged. Do they have US inventory for quick shipping?

I greatly appreciate your help.
