Just received my C230K pulley

Thanks for that. I'll need to get a smartphone so.

K-B, while your here have a look at my thread on power loss, thanks.

Just thought I'd throw this out there. The M62 doesnt really become massively inneficient until you go past 1 bar. Whats unique on our cars is the fact that it is intercooled which is really rare for a supercharged setup. When you look at the M62 map it is still 60-62% efficient at 1 bar and thats without an intercooler so increase that by even 10% and youre at 70-72%. Idk why everyone suggest the m92 or any other roots charger, they are not nearly as efficient as the M62 we have already... Just didnt want you to think its just a hot air pump, maybe an intercooler with low psi drop and smoother piping would be best eventually

Howdo Mike? No, I was just joking really. Mind you I've been driving the old wagon hard over the last week or two since fitting the larger pulley/damper and the weather here has improved no end, we've gone from 12C to 26C in the space of a day. So, it's hotter than ever in the engine bay. And maybe this has something to do with my sudden power loss (see other thread).

Something to keep in mind, the stock intercooler is not all that great and heat soak is an issue even stock cars have to deal with. It's getting around the 90's here in Kentucky already and I can tell the power loss from it after spirited driving already.

Hey Zmatt
Its getting abit colder on our end of the world and the car feels sooo much better was thinking of going for an intercooler spray kit as w/m is abit of a problem with the cars. Any idea how efficient they are on our cars with the stock IC?

If you check out subby's post on Benzworld R170 section, he made a spray kit
