There is a debate for many years. Some people defend them, some don't and some just try it. Personally, I tried it and my car is much better than ever. Keep in mind that this is a small NA engine and it helps saving rotational weight. However, keep also in mind that my car is less than 2620lbs, I installed the most expensive pulley kit and it also underdrives the alternator (not good if you have A/C, heated seats or in general use the battery a lot). Additionally, you'll hear more noises from the engine. For me it is fine, because it is a sports/race car and not a daily driver. I would never install this on my daily car. If you want to buy it, I agree with the others. Don't buy these things from ebay for cheap.
