EWP and ASP Fixin to install my ewp and wondering if my A4 car will charge good in summer with ac on. I got the asp with no pulley on alt and in previous summers when the electric fans kick on at idle the amps would drop down. This is only at idle. Was wanting to know if the ewp will suck too much juice?

It wont charge at idle, no..but as long as you dont sit at idle too long it wont be an issue. In my 6 speed, with underdrive, headlights on, A/C on, and WP going, it slooooooooowly drains if I get stuck in traffic. If I hold the revs 100-200rpms higher it charges, if I get to drive the car a little bit every minute, its fine...but if I'm dead nuts stuck in traffic on a hot night....it does drain over time.
