They work great and they are perfect; I have one in my personal Mini; it was a gift from the the nice German Lady who engineered them.

15% reduction is substatial over stock but still conservative as it is the percentage used by John Cooper Works for their delear install upgrade.

19% is most likely pushing the envolope when it come to spinning your charger??

Usually it is said that 19% reduction cars create too much heat for track use.

So Mini owners that track their cars usually stick to 15 or 17.

Personally, I am totally happy with 15% reduction.

I have to say that besides the increase in performance the nicest side effect from I found from installing the pulley is that my Mini does not bog anymore at traffic lights with the A/C on.
I guess that with the quicker boost on tap is spools the engine up enough to avoid those embrassing engine stalls.




These repolished pulleys we are selling are a heck of a deal!

There is a limit qantity at these price so anyone has been on the fence due to price, do not miss your chance.

What is the difference in hp produced between a 15% and 19%?

So for regular use, you would recommend a 15% or a 19%? For auto X, a 15%? I see a lot of car owners here having a 19%.

Most of the Pulleys we install are 15%

I think the best way to put it is that 15% the vesitile as well as safest for you equipment.

Short sprints like Autocross may benefit for 17% or 19% as well city driving.


From what know is that constant High boost / High RPM created by a smaller 19% pulley as in a race track situation is probabley not wise????


Do a search for pulley choices; there has been much discusion about this already on this board so you find some good info to base your decision.
