Supercharger pulley

folks, i'm about to replace my supercharger pulley on my 04 R53 for a small pulley but want to know of any drawbacks before I do it. I've heard that it'll give me an instant 20 hp to my MCS, please varify. Also, is there different sizes I can pick from or just one size? Please advice.

15% is recommended if your not planning on getting tuned or running atleast the jcw injectors, or you can do 17% or 19% or you could also find the jcw 13% if you dont want to do alot.draw backs your going to use more gas just because you'll be pushing the pedal down harder and mor often

The pulley is bar far the best bang for the buck but your expectations are a bit high. The rule of thumb in most cases is 15 ft lbs of torque and 15 hp give or take a few . You will certainly notice the change in any event . It's a good mod, go for it .
