Pulley or Silicone Intercooler Hose Kit???
Have a 02 wagon w/ vishnu reflash/vishnu uppipie/& turboback exhaust..
Looking into either of the pulleys offered from vishnu or their Silicone Intercooler Hose Kit... looking for quicker responce/ but dont want to have any power losses or additional stress to the engine..
have read many a post about pulley problems but none from the vishnu..
they offer the main power pulley or the Alternator Power Pulley ...
any suggestions??

I have both and noticed the biggest difference when I put the IC hoses on. Boost earlier and smoother. The pulley was nice too, but I'd do the IC hoses first.

well i guess it comes down to if the vishnu pullry really does noot drain down power and if it really isnt detrimental for the engine...

i noticed a definite improvement with the vishnu ic hoses. i'm not sold on the idea of the pulleys.

eh you can either do pullies or flywheel you cant do both. the car doesnt idle properly if you do both and you get a cel so if you are planning on a flywheel dont do the pullies

deffinently get the hoses lightening the drivetrain hurts the luanch on wrxs. i got a light flywheel findanza its awsome every where, but the track best 60' time is only like 1.99 sec, all mods include reflashed ecu, greddy catback ic hoses ingen CAI and a gfb bov. wow thats a lot of abreviations. also i was getting misfires ever now and then after i got the flywheel.
