At last...the UD pulleys installed!
Got my car back today with fresh oil, new speakers all around, new sub and the UD pulleys and am I having fun! A more spirited acceleration and very strong pull...relatively speaking of course for you s/c'd folks! A real blast at 3000+ rpm's!
Thanks Evosport! Now when the snow stops I'll get the Carlsson suspension swapped out and new tires!

Yes, you can feel the difference in the acceleration, and more if you add performance air filters like K&N or itg and a performance exhaust like eisenmann or AMG

You can feel the difference in acceleration from dead stop, but I really haven't had much time to test the upper ranges.
Frappe, Evosport is a board sponsor and they sell them on their website for $499. It takes about 3 hours to install and your mechanic needs to have a "certain" pulley kit to remove the power steering pulley.

Call me if you'd like. I'd be happy to explain in detail how they work.
Thanks,
Ben
PS
Exhaust is probably the least worthwhile (in terms of HP) upgrade for your car.

I must say I am really surprised at what a difference the UD pulleys make. I now know what ~13 hp at the wheels feels like. The acceleration is much more crisp and clean and it makes me grin when it touch the gas!
