I am pretty partial to our pulley, how far are you interested in driving to get the install done?

Way has a series of pulleys that you should consider as he is very well respected in the MINI community.

Oh holy crap, in the Bay area, you'll probably find that you're tripping over them compared to Georgia! In Georgia, however, we DO have Way of Way Motor Works. I would and have seriously consider his products when buying.

If you haven't already planned on it, definitely swap your plugs for something one step cooler when doing the pulley. And if you have a few extra $$'s maybe get a cold air intake (CAI) too. I have a DDMWorks intake and LOVE it, but there are other options too. Search will reveal many discussions on the topic.

As far as what pulley brand to get, I'm with Kellen. Craven Speed has GREAT products Plus Kellen is a hell of a guy.

We've done some business with Edge, and have heard good reviews of their work. I'd give them a try.
