i have the unorthodox racing pulley, works great for me, its so light, it wouldnt even show up on a scale. the original is like a freakin lead paperweight. big difference. one of the benifits of using the unorthodox racing pulley is that you can use the stock belt. the pulley is the exact same size as the original but as heavy as a paperclip. i would take a pic for you if i could angle my cam to the side but its not worth the effort. i think the pulley cost somewhere around 200 bucks..

eddnog, yea man i noticed a difference. especially in throttle response, or at least it feels. LO BUX RACER, where did you get your information? do you have a website address from a credible author?if so send me the link please. and yes my oil pump still works, and if im supposed to feel vibration, i havent felt it at all.

i just got off the phone with my personal mechanic, ESC racing, www.escracing.com, and he says he has never heard of a lightweight pulley causing any problems of that sort, and even if it did, why would Unorthodox Racing make a faulty pulley? that opens them up to all sorts of lawsuits. my mechanic is going to call unorthodox racing on monday to see what they say, and im sure it will be the same as his.. overall, im still happy with my buy. fidanza flywheel? why would i do that? if im going to do that im going to get a new clutch as well. sorry, my car is still fairly new.

i went to my dealership today and spoke to one of the mechanics about the pulley, he said yes it does cause additional stress on the oil pump, no doubt, but that the chances of it breaking are like 1 in a million. he even asked me where i got it, he to owns a tC. he recommends it, not just the brand, but just replacing the part in general. im starting to get a little confused, im getting this stuff about it not working then it working. wtf
