    Well, your car has a M45 (45c.i.d.) blower. They are rather sensitive to airflow. First thing would be to get more/fresh air to it. The next thing you might want to research is the pulley size (diameter and # of ribs) and see if anyone sells a smaller pulley (im sure someone out there does).

    ^^I agree, I probably would too. I wouldn't do to much modding. If I did it only come from the dealership.

    GIAC makes a custom file for c230 kompressor; i have the 2.3L supercharged and plan on moving over to that file + pulley. call brian at eurotech and see if he can help you out.
