BIP (Great as Always) and Weistec (Great Product)

Thanks Jason/Craig for taking care of me and making sure **** gets done!

You can have the best product in the world. But, in the end, it really just comes down to your word and creditability - when things don't go according to plan. And, we all know that sometimes things don't always go according to plan. But, its how you treat your customers at those points that makes a difference...at least to me.

I am keeping my wagon (I like no car payment / no cash leaving my account to buy new wagon). I thus originally wanted EC's monster motor but $25k was out of my price range. I am sure it is well worth it but out of my budget. After all the reviews on Weistec and Craig's thread / his personal experience with the Weistec SC kit, I decided to get that kit. But, a good price doesn't mean anything without customer service or responsiveness from the vendor. Craig/Tony/BIP have been very responsive to me and making sure **** gets done. Which is why I decided to contact Craig for the Weistec kit. Jason (the owner of BIP?), also followed up with me to make sure **** got done and I ALWAYS knew where I stood with BIP on my order and what was going on or to be done. For that, thank you Jason/Craig!!!

As for Weistec, from all the reviews and research, their product seems top notch. When I got my kit, it was well packed. I never undervalue the need to have products well packed, especially with heavy items or items that are important to me. To see the SC kit well packed was a relief to me. And, the SC kit itself looks like a top notch product. But, I am still waiting for the rest of my kit from Weistec and my UPS store almost sent back the kit delivery due to packing label issues. All of this has nothing to do with the product itself (at least I hope not) but it gives me pause. Now, I am starting to think, did they ship me all of what is needed to install the kit? Is there anything missing that I will only discover in the middle of installation? Again, the kit itself seems top notch but the shipping issues gives me pause. Which is also why I will reserve my review of them until everything is delivered, installed and up and running.

In good hands with the BIP crew Jason/Craig/Tony will get you right no matter what. Your car and Craig's now really had me thinking I NEED a Weistec on mine now.

Keep us updated.

Weistec were great to work with when I installed my kit. I had some issues, not caused by the kit, but brought to the surface by it, and they were great every step of the way. The kit will come with a check list of everything that is supposed to be in it.

The kit and parts do look top notch! And, yes there is a checklist.

That's correct. I sold my E55. I used a Weistec E55 kit and put it on my CLK55

What the pics can not convey is the quality of the weistec sc hardware. It is high quality. Once I reinstall my oem CP, I will then install the weistec.

To help keep IATs lower and cooler air, I also ordered Weistec cold air kit. Again, the product itself is quality.

WOW! The car is a beast with the Weistec SC. A lot of pull in the mid to higher RPMS. Great product, no doubt. The install was straightforward and very easy. There is a detailed installation manual. I decided to do it myself. If you install it yourself, I suggest you use a hoist to take off and install the SC...it makes the job a lot easier. I made my own power hoist and removal/installation of the SC was as super easy.

There are some kinks that still needs to be worked out. For example, the IATS are higher then my previous set up. Trying to see what I can do to lower it. I will update more later.

Yea I agree. the top end is much better with the Weistec SC. Install is easy. Seems like high IAT's are a common issue. Are you using their CAI and which pulley are you running now?

Yes, I have their CAI. I will install it this weekend. As for pulley, I reinstalled the OEM CP. I dont know the size of the weistec pulley. It is whatever they gave me to match the OEM CP.

I am going to also install meth. Do you have meth? If you do, can you post pics of how you did the install of the nozzles and how is it triggered?
