Got my medival lightweight pullies installed on my MP3 last week. PS didn't take too long, but the Alt & WP pullies took a while. Mainly the Alt because it didn't want to let go of the car. Almost ripped my middle finger nail off and had to lay down for a few minutes, but other than that it was just time consuming. They look great and ride straight. They've been dynoed at 4hp to the wheels. I don't FEEL a difference, but it does seem like the engine revs a little more freely now. Especially when I was power shifting today and missed 2nd, it hit the rev limit quick and many times!

It's just a lightweight ALT pulley- not underdriven.

I have my ALT and water pump pullies on. The power steering pulley is just waiting for me to get some free time. How bad did you booger up the stock power steering pulley? I've heard people destroy that sucker when they take it off.

I didn't mess up the stock pulley at all. It looks like it can be reused. I don't know what these ppl are doing to screw it up so bad. I sprayed some wd-40 on the shaft and let it soak in for the time it took me to get everything set up and it came off without too much trouble. I used a rubber strap wrench and had one guy help me hold that while I turned the puller.
