I've got the RSS pulley installed, felt like a nice little boost, but what a hassle sawing off that boss with a small hacksaw... I got mine for about that same price second hand.

EBS (a well respected name in Porsche) looks like they ave a kit now with an intro price that is close to the price from this thread:

Edit: Looks like there is a fib on that listing though, says "no modifications required", unless this pulley is nearly as big as stock it isn't going to clear that boss...

I'd be concerned about stress cracks in all those spokes.

Unlikely, very thick really. Nice solid piece. Unless there was some sort of install issue, or funky stress. And yes, the boss has to go... at least most of it.

That was my first thought too, some of the other fancy ones have that problem too. If it is really EBS though I bet it is good.

You guys were talking about the EBS piece! I agree, that looks a little funky. I have the some one the OP was selling. IT is very solid.

I must admit, a "pretty" UDP is about as pointless as can be. One thing to add nice shiny things to a big V8, but with a mid mount, shiny things are pretty much useless.
