A cooling system with more volume that operates at a lower starting temperature. Will always be more efficient and remove heat better and more efficiently than a smaller one that operates at a higher temperature.The remote system simply has more cooling volume period. Again the system is not going to heat soak off boost during normal driving. This is the question that is being debated.

A larger pulley is going to spin the blower quicker and move more air. If the cooling system and tuning are up to par and the blower is not outside of its efficiency range. A larger pulley will make more power every time. Again the laws of physics don't change because you drive a Benz. This is a great discussion lets keep the information flowing.

I love these kinds of discussions. This is what this forum is all about! Good job guys. It sounds to me that if you really want a 55k to run perfect at all times if to have aftermarket cooling, stock pulley and a good tune. That way you are not shutting off your s/c all the time because of the excess heat created by the larger pulley. The trunk mounted cooling is very cool, but it also has its cons, like losing your spare tire, and having to use ice or dry ice. Im sure it does stay cooler than under the hood, but when I'm in mexico at a stop light I don't want to get blown away by a pick up truck because my car is too hot. But if our cars get so hot than whats up with the 190mm!? Does this mean you can only run your car once a week and wait for it to cool down?

You will not heat soak the H/E sitting at a traffic light, during normal driving or because the car has been sitting in the sun all day. Your heat exchange is constantly cooling the liquid as the car is being driven. The simple fact that the coolant tank is located in a ambient or close to ambient location does an incredible job as making the H/E work less hard at cooling the system down. Do you understand how supercharging works? Do you realize that during normal driving you're creating very little boost? Maybe if you guys put boost gauges in your cars you would see that during normal driving you create very little positive manifold pressure.

LOL what's your definition of "normal" driving? I do not think I drive this car any where near normal. 9mpg is not "normal" in my book.

I do understand what you are saying, but I want to be able to make maximum power as much as possible.

Ok because i drive my car like an old man, ii see 27mpg all the time.

I believe trunk mounted system with a good H/E will give you what you desire with a large pulley i will let you know shortly.

haha that's what I wanted to hear! My appointment is Tuesday so I'm trying to decide by then weather or not to go with a 172 or 180. Sounds like the best, and the most money, is to go with the 180 and the rear mount cooling.
