well Im definately ordering the kit from ecs but my question is...

has anyone gotten the ultimate kit with the 75% lightweight crank pully to install??

seems like a great way to add some hp while in the area doing the timing belt..

whatcha think??

ultimate timing belt kit

 

ive heard that lightweight pullies are not good for the 18t but for the 2.8 its ok.

 

I haven't, but while you are in there you might want to change the front cam seals etc, and if you are considering a snub mount, now is the time to do it.

 

Really the lightweight crank is no bueno???

well I have the snub from greedspeed already and I thought the crank would be a nice addition

anyone else have a take on it??

Anyone know info that the lightweight crank is bad for the 1.8T??

 

It removes the harmonic balancer... No bueno. With something as essential as the crank pulley, just leave it stock.

 

I was considering the same thing and I checked with these Forums, Audizine, and Audiworld, and there was a majority of "No's" as opposed to "Yes's". I would say don't get it. You won't recognize a gain from this part alone, and there are far better ways to take that money and put it towards a mod that will produce a reliable gain.

 

yea I wouldn’t do it I did some research on them a while back and found that most say its a bad idea and can mess with your motors balance and screw stuff up

 

thanks everyone

noted...

looks like its snub and the rest of the timing belt stuff oem
