And TPLiquid, aka Jack

As some of you may know, I won a little birthday contest Jack set up, and got a Neuspeed power pulley kit out of it.
As promised, I received the pulleys soon after the contest, and I finally got the time to install it today.




Heres some pics from the install:

The weight difference is HUGE!
As you can see here, the Neuspeed one weights 242.4 grams

While the OEM one weights about 4 pounds! (About 1,800 grams)
More than 7 times the Neuspeed!

I never really understood how simply swapping a pulley could make much of a noticeable difference, but once I held the OEM one vs the Neuspeed, I immediately understood.

Test Drive:
Wow, I really was skeptical about this mod at first, I didnt think a 5-7hp increase would even be noticeable.
But it is!
Throttle response is greatly increased, and the car feels like it pulls a lot harder with less hesitation.
Overall, I believe this is a great mod!

Once agian, big thanks to TPLiquid and OEMmods.com!
