I have the Magnecor wires but they're going to be installed hopefully this week, no time. No HP gains from wires just clean power and don't forget about your plugs! Go with Bosch Plats or NGK Iridiums, I've read good things about both and I have the Bosch...

If you want your car to have a smoother powerband with a more "torquey" feeling... definitely get them. You'll feel difference especially if your current wires are stock and are worn out.

..............I have brand new, never installed AMS pulley I can sell to you for $450 plus shipping. It will cost you $575 from AMS.

.......There are no Evosport crank pulleys for W210. What they make are under drive pulleys for the accessories which you can use in conjucntion with the AMS crank pulley if you like.

magnecors just clean up the power band they don't add power. When it comes to spark plug... have fun replacing those, @ 16 spark plugs its not a cheap swap .

AMS = crank pulley
Ev*sport = accessory pulleys.

They both work in different ways. Crank pulley gives you more "oomph" in the low end to mid range, accessory pulley systems are more about just high end power. Many MB owners have used both in conjunction with each other to maximize their potential gains from their entire belt drive system and the gains can produce pretty amazing results from the combo, they are 100% compatible with each other. This page should help explain the differences and etc...

But doesn't this link tell us how not to use a underdrive pulley, due to it killing the length of the performance of the engine?

No he has not. M5_forever, Moderators have been contacted because of your attacks, we do not tolerate propaganda regarding our company, especially from someone who hasn't even tried our products.
