Greetings All!!
This is my very first post on supraforums and I apologize for asking such a repetitive question. My car is currently in the shop and had the leaking water pump replaced. I decided that this was a good time to do some extra mods. I can't make up my mind on the pulley set. I have read the "archives" on this topic. There are good arguments for and against the pulley set but it's a 50/50 split. I donated my OEM crank pulley to another MKIV owner when his broke because I was certain at the time that I would purchase the Unorthodox set. So either way I'm going to have to purchase a new crank pulley. I've heard that the OEM is prone to breaking under high horsepower loads (my future goal is 500-550rwhp). I've also heard that Unorthodox one is bad for the motor and causes alot more underhood and cabin noise but is stronger. Sorry for the long post but I must make a decision on this by Monday. Good, sound advise is well taken so help me decide. Thank you in advance.
