when i had my b6 1.8t 5spd i noticed a big difference..... will light weight pullies do anything for TIPtronic transmission?

i am personally going to get the light weight underdrive pulley aswell as the carbonio cai on wednesday. i had gotten the car chipped and had some loose change left so i told him to order the parts...its said that the pulley will give around 12-15 hp and the intake anywhere from 15-20 hp..this is all crank power though...i am looking to go to the dyno after these mods are done..then once more when the ntest pipe gets put in too...i will fill you in when i get it installed..b7 6spd...

hey listen i dropped in the carbonio intake and the pulley..now im aliitle skeptical about this..the guy gave me back the pulley and belt and also the old intake too when he completed the job...i dont feel a serious increase with that pulley...i know that the old pulley and belt were from audi because i saw the symbol but i have a feeling that he didnt replace the pulley..im gonna have to check out the pulley for myself..unless the intake doesnt give me what i thought it would of in hp wise..but the carbonio intake lets you hear your bov alot louder..to compare id say a litle bit quieter than the srt-4, but sounds waaaaaay better

I had the same result when i put my Carbonio in. The turbo breathes a lot nicer, but didn't notice much performance increase unfortunately. I am not familiar with the lightweight pulleys. Maybe you could point to where i could take a look.

the pulley is supposed to be the one closest to the ground..if you take your shield off from the bottom, it should be your first pulley you come in contact with..that **** is HEAVY..now i know dam well you can hear that bov now..makes the b7 sound mean..haha...the pulley claims to be 15 extra hp because it spools the turbo alot quicker..i recommend that you buy the testpipe and chip it..there will go 1000$$ but you will definatly love the difference in speed..get up to 140 like nothing..i love it..
