Does one have larger diameter MAF than another?
I remember a while back on BenzWorld forums an SLK member did some changing with dyno runs with a larger OEM MAF. Should still be in there databases.
Are the ECU calibrations the same?
I know the factory ECU's (even with AMG models) are pretty conservative so I think cost and performance wise, aftermarket might always be a better bet.
How about the accessory drive, is one lighter than another?
Pretty sure the answer is no, since most pulleys in the like M.B. lines are similar. There is at least one aftermarket company that re-works the OEM units (crank) and are reasonably priced, so this might be an idea route for more HP and having less of the change of the dealership noticing the aftermarket unit and automatically using that as an excuse for a engine-related problem.
