I have a 2005 convertible MCSa and was looking into a pulley kit. I was looking at a 17 or 19% kit and the ProMini intake. Those are the only performance upgrades I intend to do other than perhaps an exhaust later. I'm located near Atlanta, GA and there's a ProMini dealer nearby but when I contacted them they said it was a lot more work to do to add the pulley kit to the auto and they wouldn't do it, plus they said they worried about the tranny if the kit were installed and advised against it.

Has anyone added the kit to an auto car and what are the concerns with doing it? I don't thrash my car and I can't believe the engineering on the auto is so marginal that the basic upgrades I'm considering would push the unit over the limit.

PS: 20,000 miles and I LOVE this car!

Thanks,

Ron B.

A person in our local club has a 15% pulley on his MCSa.
