Light Weight Pulley's
Is it a big difference to put light weight pulley's on?
Power Steering, alternator, and crank pulley, thinking about it...
Saw a set at ECS. How are they to deal with? How are their parts?
Thanks.

For the money there are bigger power mods to be had. I stayed with OEM as I like the idea of everything being factory balanced. So I don't need to worry about any harmonic balance issues. But if you are to upgraded any rotational mass pieces the biggest gains can be had from flywheel and Crank pulley. That is just my $0.02.

Dont waste your money, just drill a bunch of holes in your OEM pullys to lighten them. Just kidding!
I put on that 3 piece ECS light weight pulley set a couple years ago with no problems. I dont think it gives you any more hp or anything, it may improve your overall engine efficiency a hair, but nothing to brag about. If you have done everything else and you are looking for something to do with some money to burn, then sure, go for it, but i wouldnt do it again myself just because i didnt see the bang for the buck.
As far as ECS tuning goes... Great company. I obviously shop around a little for prices on things, but if the prices are even close, i always go with ECS. Great customer service and they have almost anything. They are like the super walmart for vw/audi owners. I have delt with them at least 15 times since owning my car.
