As someone who has had a 3 piece NST pulley kit, a lightweight flywheel and super light weight wheels on my Yaris for over 5 years, the change is dramatic in how fast the car revs, and because I am a gas mileage freak I get better gas mileage as well.

Now could a boxer be different? Of course, but if the stock engine can take all sorts of forced induction, then a pulley kit is not a big deal. I will say the NST pulleys are much more expensive than what is stock, and that is the main reason they would never do something like that oem.

Thank you for providing some real world feedback on a real car. Five years is a legitimate sample size.

Best of luck with all your projects moving forward.
