Pulley or Silicone Intercooler Hose Kit???

Have a 02 wagon w/ vishnu reflash/vishnu uppipie/& turboback exhaust..
Looking into either of the pulleys offered from vishnu or their Silicone Intercooler Hose Kit... looking for quicker responce/ but dont want to have any power losses or additional stress to the engine..
have read many a post about pulley problems but none from the vishnu..
they offer the main power pulley or the Alternator Power Pulley ...
any suggestions??

I have both and noticed the biggest difference when I put the IC hoses on. Boost earlier and smoother. The pulley was nice too, but I'd do the IC hoses first.

well i guess it comes down to if the vishnu pullry really does noot drain down power and if it really isnt detrimental for the engine...

eh you can either do pullies or flywheel you cant do both. the car doesnt idle properly if you do both and you get a cel so if you are planning on a flywheel dont do the pullies
