I got mine directly from the UR website. Gave the pulley and the Gates belt to my mechanic. Two hundred for the install.

Sounds awsome! Can you link me to the UR Website and the specific model number that you got for the UR Pulley as well as the Gates Belts model and where you bought that? I just want to make sure to get the right model even though it was mentioned above. Thanks!
How much of a HP and Torque gain should I expect to see BTW?

For those who have already installed the pulley: Did you feel the HP gain? How is the a/c? How is your stock stereo doing? Any negative effects?
Sorry but I posted this on two threads because I know this one is very applicable to me because I have AEM CAI currently installed and thinking about the UR Pulley as we speak.
Also, where can I buy a UR Pulley? Can someone link me or tell me where I can find the best deal? Thanks

The car will basically rev up quicker. The power is good throughout the entire RPM band and usually is good for about 8-10 hp in these cars based on dynos of other J series engines.
I also stock these pulleys and am an Official Vendor for Acurazine. Here is a link:

At first, the lady quoted me a price of $225. This was according to the "labor estimates" reference book, I suppose. I told her that it should only take about a half of an hour of labor. I told her that the pulley is "right there", just turn the wheel... very easy to get to. So, we agreed to wait until the mechanic finished the job and to get an estimate from the mechanic. She comes back and asks me "how is $68 ?" I said "great !!!"

You will need to drive around town to visit several autoparts stores until you find an autoparts store that sells Gates brand of belts. I got mine from "O'Reilly Auto Parts".
IF you have a Napa store, you can get the NAPA Part# 060820 Micro-V. Napa's belts are made by Gates.
This is all you need. I took the pulley and the belt to my machanic, and 30 minutes later, I was good to go.
Ragarding the gas mileage, I have not driven mine enough yet to know. But, from a logical point of view, mileageshould increase if anything (as opposed to a decrease). The reason milage should increase is because the car does not need to struggle to rotate that 8 lb boat-anchor pulley.
In regards to the AC, I have not driven my car yet to know.
I really doubt electronics and electrical stuff would be effected. The car does crank-over easier with the lighter pulley.
