Re: short belt question The short belt will bypass the powersteering pump,takeing less drag off the motor. I run a 52.7 in belt with my stock pulley and picked up .1/1mph a few weeks ago in the heat. I think i picked mine up for $22 but you need to pull the bottom alternator bolt out for the belt to clear without getting cut up. IF you have an A4 after pulling the alternator bolt out zip tie the tranny line back some so that it does not rub on the belt.
