    Fluidampr vs. Stock Crank Pulley swap questions

    Now that my car hit 50K miles, thinking of replacing the crank pulley as a proactive measure.

    Don't want to go over-sized or solid pulley so I either get stock or Fluidampr.

    However, looking at the Fluidampr site, it's unclear to me if they even make a stock sized pulley for our cars. If they do, which part number would it be (651211)?

    If going with stock, there are many brands out there, ranging in price from $200 to ~$400 for Audi brand. Any recommendations on what to avoid/get?

    Thanks

    Im not sure Fluidampr make a pulley for the supercharged 3.0L V6, as far as I know they only had listed the 30V engine which was a previous 3.0L NA motor. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think its available.

    The Fluidampr without the sleeve is stock size and bolts right up. Also nice when you decide to tune just grab your preferred sleeve angle add.

    Best wishes.

    I know you say you don't want a overdrive pulley but the future you may want a power bump down the road. You don't see these things hit the classifieds too often.

    As regards a stock replacement, I went with Febi bilstein same as OE at less than half the price from Audi.
