how are they? i hear they arent as good for A4s cause they lower the idle or something? i have a converter so my idle is really low all the time now. looking to buy some but i would like some feedback first <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Works fine for me. They allow you to ramp up faster and they are a little lighter than the stock iron one.

other than charging, no problems here, idle did not change on my 00 A4..

does the battery drop that much if you only do the crank pulley <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

No, it is not a problem with just the crank pulley..

I am taking them off my A4 and putting them on my M6, then there will be no problem.. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

I've been running ASP crank and alternator pullies on my car for quite some time with no problems. My idle is higher than most autos, though (975rpm). Unless you plan on spending alot of time at idle, I don't think you'll have a problem with both. Otherwise, the crank pulley alone should be totally worry free.

sweet. my main concern was the idleeeeee since it idles like 500 with the converter. sometimes it dies when im trying to back into a parking space (could be a combination of the cold weather)

guess im gonna buy me some for x-mas <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

I have them on my A4 with the overdriven alt. pulley. Car charges better now then it did before.

I have the crank pully and every blue moon the car will cut off only when running the AC and backing into a parking space but its a comb of the pully and the cam and I have not had my idle raised. I can live with it though until I get programming. <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

my car idles at around 500 also. now with my cam it gives me problems 'sometimes' i too was worried about installing my ASP crank pulley. i guess i dont have to worry that much anymore. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

I had the crank pulley and stock idle with no problems.

I know 2 people who had crank and altenator pulley with a stock idle who developed charging problems.

Most of the gain is the crank pulley. Underdriving the altenator may help but some of the gain is offset by the fact that the pulley is larger (diameter and probably mass) than stock.
