I have the powerbond unit. Its not aluminium, but thats a bonus because you want to preserve the rotational harmonics of the engine while lessening the parasitic losses of driving the other pulleys.

I have the SLP/PowerBond pulley and it is a beautiful piece of machine work. I have been running it for over a year no problems. It is an improvement in design and material over the ASP, it is a case of a proven mod being improved upon.

I have a powerbond on mine....I have no complaints
It was supplied from Aus, although supplied as I needed it to bolt my blower pulley to.
