Pulleys

gtiracer -> Pulleys (12/20/2007 7:14:17 AM)
So, I'm thinking about getting some new pulleys for my 03 gti. Thing is, I'm curious about ac and alternator performance loss. I know this is a great mod, but it's also my daily driver we're talking about here, and I do want to be comfortable. Has anyone out there done this mod, and have you noticed any significant cons? Thanks!

Most alternators produce a almost full charge at 1500 to 1800 rpm. I don't think you would have a problem at that mod. The a/c compressor works about the same at about 1600 rpm the compressor is giving enough movement to the freon that you shouldn't know any difference. The pulley mod I assume is a smaller set to provide more performance. it will actually help the engine not work so hard and should help on gas mileage.
