search the threads at mbworld. there is a lot of finger pointing, but no real answer as to what causes pulley wobble and associated damage.

I have an ASP pulley, Evosprt headers and VRP tune. The tune made everything work better together, gas mileage too.

Gas mileage too? Wow, what you are at now? E55 is around 13/18

Around town I get 13, previously 12.
Highway, 21 at 70, previously 20.
Combined almost 15, previously 13.7.
Not big changes, but noticeable.

Tips are cleaner too.

Which tune did you go with, or did they just ask you what mods you have a create a custom tune? Is calling them the best way to deal with VRP? Neither of the contacts on mbworld are very good about replying to PMs.
