so this is from SLK32 motor? I think it will be hard to retro fit to your 4cyl, because the intake of the SLK is on top.

He said it was from an M111 motor... C230 Kompressor and SLK 230 Kompressor motor.
there isnt much you can do with it.. custom pulley for the charger if you like.. but the best way to go is with a replacement crank and alternator pulley to make the SC spin faster... and just so you know 11psi is as high as you can go on that Eaton SC before you start greanading bearings and over spinning the charger.

yes it is from an slk 230, but i was thinking about replacing the bearings and a solid pully. maybe off of a post 2000, 111 motor?

Well the only goo dabout a solid pulley is so theres no clutch to wait to engage!! so the SC will be ready to go all the time... especially off the line!
but by replacing the bearings you wont achieve anything.. unless they need to be replaced. a larger stronger bearing wont fit in there, so it pointless to try and beef up the bearings. the stock bearings are suffice for the MAX 11psi of boost that SC will make.

not too bad, theres nothing really wrong with the kompressor itself. one of the guys at work miss diagnosed the diverter valve and replaced the blower instead... oops. i think the car only had 50k on it
