It is not just a pulley, it is called vibration damper for a reason....

Best way to do it is fit the one off a 172/182. It’s smaller than the 197 item, so lighter, but also has the all important vibration damper built into it. You’ll feel a bit of an improvement in how it revs. It’s the exact same thing that was fitted to the mk3 cup race cars.

For Street use I do not recommend. For racing maybe it worth because every 0.1s count.

You would gain more from taking a medium to large s**t, prior to any track time.

I wouldn't fit one on any car, they have dampers fitted for a reason.

What is the damper dampening? And what issues can occur from fitting light weight ally ones? I ask because mine is on a light weight one
