Question 180mm vs 175mm pulley, worth it to upgrade?
Howdy all. I've been contemplating moving up to a 180mm pulley since I'm getting an exhaust and figured I could do one custom tune and might as well do a quick pulley swap. Is it really worth it to go with the bigger pulley? Vadim had posted what an expected increase in power would be vs pulley size (I'll dig it up later), but I gather there may be a concern with controlling IAT's. I currently have a bigger heat exchanger and have a split loop...what do y'all think? Thanks!
