Hi Newbie to forum - Performance

Looking for info on performance boosts for 2001 SLK 230. Searched web - plenty of parts out there. Where's a good site to learn what those parts can actually accomplish?

Street - not racing

It over drives the supercharger just a little more to force more air into the engine.

Wait, who sells the pulley anymore? I can't find any Kleemann ones, and I thought ASP stopped making them...?

ASP still sells the pulley, but you have to find the rest of the parts yourself for the older models. The post FL are easier and don't require the extra parts (4 bar FPR, colder plugs, MAF relocation).

ASP is in the process of moving and is not taking orders
after the move they will start up again.
