Does your EC Pulley wobble?
I'm kinda skeptical about getting Eurocharged pullies But Detail-King is a dealer here in the Bay Area and says he can install it for me. SHould I go for the latest EC pulley or just go with ASP's 180mm Pulley?

I have a brand new vrp 175 with water pump pulley if you want to go with a 175.All you would need is a new bolt and a belt.
I would also use lock tite on the bolts on it and it should be perfect with no wobble.

ASP uses a factory pulley and welds on a ring around it.
Our pulley doesn't use a factory pulley, but is a design simular to vrp/evosport etc. Its internally dampened.
Both very good products, and you will love the car either way you decide to go

Well thank god! Stock dampers are supposedly known to fail on our cars. ASP said you guys just recently updated the design. ASP is in SF and he is a EC distributor which is wonderful to know. Thanks for the info loungn14.

The stock elastomer dampening is prone to failure- we have seen it many times on 55 and 55k (it's the same elastomer design regardless of which specific pulley was shown). This is not to say it WILL fail, but factory parts are built cheap for a reason. Especially when you start tinkering with them and make them do what they weren't built to do. Why do you think many tuners opt to not use the factory pulley as a starting point? Just to be different or so we can charge more money? I don't think so.

No you are wrong. All major tuners do NOT use stock pulleys. I've personally had the stock pulley fail on my CLS55 and I know several other people who had the same problem as I did (including people whose MODIFIED stock pulley failed). Dealer replaced it under warranty even though my car was OUT of warranty. Please do your homework before you start posting information that is misleading to other members.

That's funny because iv had all 3 in my possession that were all modified stock pillows
And my friend with a real asp(not eurocharged)uses a stock pulley.
So that's 4 out of the main tuners that use a stock pulley,maybe you should call renntech and kleemann and see what they use.

Most of the tuners modify the stock pulley: RENNtech, Kleemann, EVOTech, ASP, and I think even MKB does as well 
If you look at data from the top 5 quickest/fastest 55k cars, you'll see most of them use the ASP 180 mm pulley. Some of these guys are pushing 700+ hp and have got many miles on the car with no failure. I don't doubt that a few may fail but the majority that I've seen here on this forum have not failed yet including the top 5 quickest/fastest guys

My point: Do your homework before posting statements as facts that actually have little to no validity.
