Update:

I have decided that I cant be without my car while they look at my pulley setup etc. So i have purchased a spare OEM pulley for my C32. I am going to give them the pulley and let them look at it and play with it. I thought about having them machine it down for me, of course after extensive research I have found that there is a "groove" that limits the amount of machining, essentially keeping the diameter no less than 65mm. So I figured I would give them the spare and let them make a model of it and see what we can come up with.

I have hit a wall on one of the mercedes forums, apparently I cant get authorization from the administrators to post this thread as it is a " conflict of interest with other providers" still waiting to see that other S/C pulley provider, guess I may have missed their ad. So the main snag other than the time issue I have resolved is the amount of interested people.

I know price plays a huge factor in this too. Once i have given them the stock pulley I should be able to sit down with them and hammer out a price and relay it to you guys and see how the feedback is on it.

Again, terribly sorry for the long overdue reply!!

Thanks,
Andrew

C32/SRT6 Supercharger Pulley

We have been testing ours for quite some time now. When machining be very careful as we have seen some of the unit start to warp/bend after machining and heavy car use.

It makes a lot of sense to us for you to not be able to post on mbworld personally. We pay hundreds of dollars a month for that privilege, and they have been very good about making sure "to get theirs" for anyone trying to sell anything even if it is just to benifit the greater good.

We will also be bundling our pulley with tuning sales, and should start taking pre-orders very soon.

oh and woody, good idea, but the ecu freaks out. We had to do a lot of coding for our turbo cars to fool the ecu to think the clutch is still there. Otherwise it won't run right..
