The VW R32 power steering pump is powered by a belt connected back to the crankshaft pulley. Spinning this pulley draws precious horsepower from the engine. Neuspeed's powertrain engineer, using sophisticated CADsoftware, performed a mass properties analysis of the crank pulley. The result is reduced parasitic drag on the engine and increased horsepower. On the dyno, Neuspeed has seen 5 – 7 additional horsepower. Like Neuspeed's other Power Pulley kits, the new crankshaft and power steering pump pulley is CNC machined from 6061 T6 aluminum and hard anodized for durability. Unlike color anodizing which is mostly cosmetic, hard anodizing builds up a hardened layer over the base material to prevent wear.
PLEASE NOTE: These are both lightened and underdrive pulleys.
