Weistec E55 Daily Driver Build Thread w/Pics/Video
Decided to go with a Weistec blower kit for the E55. Absolutely still love these cars, even having others. This is my 3rd E55!
Had the new supercharger on for a couple months now and wanted to share with the forums!
My goal was to have the ultimate daily driver that is smooth and enjoyable to drive, but very fun and powerful at the same time. Wanted to share some pics of the process.

It is OEM, never changed it? ![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)
Its fun for sure! Your car is done super well!! Its the standard pulley that comes with the kit for now... but I want to see about going to the smaller size. What was your impression from changing to the smaller size pulley?
