Ralco RZ pulleys installed...

Finally got the Ralco RZ pulleys put in, now I'm not going to lie and say I'm getting huge gains but I will say the gains are noticeable. You can feel the difference in high revs, either accelerating from a stop or giving it more juice while cruising on the high way. Not going to say it's the most dramatic thing I've added, but for $100 it was worth it.

07 GD3 sport M/T.. you get 2 pulleys, one large one that goes on the crank then a smaller one that goes on the alternator. They go on with the existing hardware, just take the old ones off and put the new ones on. Just a heads up, there is very little space to work and the intake manifold needed to come off to get to it.

That's cool and a decent price, no good to me with a GE but it's good info anyway. Thanks for sharing

So far they have been great, no issues at all. I can't say for sure if they help my MPG (I'm running a flashpro with a full tune) but I will say I don't get as dramatic a lag when I have my A/C on when I'm on the highway and I need to accelerate.
