i doubt spay paint will hold

@ninja
NST is working on the original group buy...and i doubt there will be a new one. i'd assume that since the group buy are the firsts then production pulleys for the rest will come shortly after through their site or authorized dealers (in red or graphite only)
if u really want them yellow...i would look into powder coating. however that is an expensive service for something you can't really see when installed

Your best bet would b to buy it then take it down to a shop the does anodizing and pay the 30$ or so to get it down right.

So are the available yet? Because I'm ready to buy these group buy or not. When I go to the website, all I get is a blank page when I click on the lightweight pulley kits.

Default For the Turbo savvy

Anyone know if this pulley will help with a turbo in this car? From what i was told, the turbo will produce more than enough power and won't benefit any with the pulley. Just want a second opinion.

The effect of a turbo plus a light-weight crank pulley would be additive. Whether or not you want more power than just the turbo alone is up to each individual.

You are going to want this with a turbo. If you have a turbo that doesn't spool very quickly, this will help with the throttle response in the lower RPM range.

Nope, proud owner of an auto...I live in Chicago and manual is not practical to drive in the city. Simply doesn't make sense. Boosting my Auto and who cares what others think about it. Doing it for me and no one else. Trust me, you'll get those guys that only think manual is best for boost. That debate is never-ending. It all depends on what you're boosting for.
