MTI Pulleys? Are they good? A friend of mine is getting them. Are they fine? I know some of the pulleys had some problems, give us some feedback on MTI's stuff if anyone out there has them. Thanks!

Re: MTI Pulleys? Are they good? How much HP do they give you?

Re: MTI Pulleys? Are they good? I know that if you go with the underdrives and your car idles lower than 800-900 the car will struggle to stay alive when you are at a stop and idleing
Re: MTI Pulleys? Are they good? The MTI pulley (crank only) is manufactured by ASP, who is also here in the Houston area.
Its worth about a tenth and 1 mph at the track, so basically a carlength. That equates to around 8 rwhp across the rpm range for the most part.
My car has had one of these pulleys on it for about 65K miles and has never had any charging issues. Its a good mod!

Hey Tony,
I wanted to ask you about this actually. I bought the MTI pulley when I thought my Whisper pulley was the culprit in my belt throwing issues. when I got the MTI I couldn't believe it, so I took it out to the car, got underneath, and voila! It's the exact same pulley, even down the the exact shade of red.
Did ASP make the Whisper pulleys too?
Thanks alot,
-Tony

Re: MTI Pulleys? Are they good? I have MTI's crank pulley, and it's great. I showed a gain of 5 RWHP with it through my A4, but it's definitely worth .1 in the 1/4. It allows the engine to spin up faster than it did w/ the stock crank pulley. It's well worth the money.

Trevor, do you still have a stock idle? I’d consider this mod, but I was afraid that with our A4s ridiculously slow idle speeds of 500 to 550 that it might cause charging problems. Do you still have a stock idle with this pulley without any issues? And, do you have to use a new belt? How hard was it to remove the stocker? Any special tools needed? Sorry for all the questions, but I’m running out of simple mods to do, so I thought I’d start learning about this one.

Re: MTI Pulleys? Are they good? Stealth mods rule! Then again I am probably a bit of a weirdo. When I got my ET Streets I pained over white letters on the sidewalls so that at night it was difficult to tell I had slicks on my car. LOL
