start with the pump and a bigger HE than maybe split your cooling system, than a S/C pulley, and a set of klemanns will give you a great bump. But make sure your up to date with your maintenance as well though,

The stock one (if the car does have a stock one) shuts off under excessive load

and the supercharger shuts off and car feels powerless.

So just check if you have Bosch 010 already in your car , if not then you'll

need to replace it and fitting a bigger H/E it's a must.

Not to mention tuning is required.

Dyno/Tuning after road trip - any of those would be better than shelf tune.

bang for your buck, pulley and larger h/e... if you already have the new bosch pump in your car then no need to upgrade that until you really start adding lots more power...or plan to track it

i had the stock upgraded pump on mine with larger h/e, 180m pulley and longtube headers and no real heatsoak issues

also longtube headers will give you a slight cooling effect with the slight drop in boost they cause

What's your budget and plans for the car? There are many different ways you could go. Just depends on what you want to do.

Pump, then headers second will keep the car running very consistent even in the heat vs bumping boost first will result in a slower car after the first pull

It's called "Auxiliary Pump" to be exact.

The link

OEM Mercedes Benz AUXILIARY WATER PUMP (C E S SL Class) - BOSCH 0005000386 : Amazon.com : Automotive OEM Mercedes Benz AUXILIARY WATER PUMP (C E S SL Class) - BOSCH 0005000386 : Amazon.com : Automotive

but like most have said- check if you already have the updated pump.

^ Love the new board

Don't apologize bud, that's what a forum community is supposed to be for.

I remember a while ago guys were saying crap like "use the search tool" or "search the countless threads about the topic"..

I'm happy to see that 100% of the comments were positive and helpful. That's where its at!

Having been in your shoes a couple times I think you will be most satisfied with a pulley and tune. Sure, cooling is a crucial part of the equation but if you're like me and just want to get a taste of what these things are capable of I would do a pulley and tune. After, you can get fancy and do headers and add some cooling.

All the vendors here are amazing and each provides A++ service. My own E55 was an EC car and I was a very happy guy. Craig at BIP is the most selfless man on this board and him and Shardul deserve praise from everyone here. Those two guys are true fans of the sport and will go out of their way to help guide complete strangers. Currently running Kleemann mods and wow.

For CF call Gary at Suveneer. Guy is a beast.

Other than that, get your self a good warranty and make sure your basic maintenance is up to date. These cars are bulletproof but only if you maintain them.

Drive her in good health!

Contact eurocharged and get a package deal for parts and tuning instead of running around to different guys and then you need a tune anyway
