That's pretty hilarious!

I would do the underdrive pulley when you do your H/C setup. There are other suspension mods (panhard, torque arm, etc.) that you could do and also a sticky tire. Other than that, you're good to go.

torque converter if you are an A4. It is a must. The car will be a dog off the line without it.

The A/C section of the pulley is stock sized, not underdriven. The a/c will work the same as it did before. Tons of daily drivers on here run them. They are a great mod unless you have a big stereo system that pulls alot of juice.

The electric water pump is pretty expensive, but it's still a bolt-on. If you have cash coming out of both ears it might interest you.
