every little helps!

and if it adds horsepower then why not :)

seems people just overlook certain mods and think filter remap and exhaust is the be all and end all of car mods !! its a joke

Janner_Sy:
An engine damper?  presuming that it is just a engine mount of some sort, or isd it just a lighter pulley.

vRStu:
I think it's a replacement pullywheel for the end of the crankshaft to reduce torsional vibration.  We use a similar type of thing at work on the industrial diesels.

There has to be a crank pulley that is balanced to the crank.. Surely VAG managed to do this when they designed the engine?

An unbalanced crank pulley, meaning pulley that is specifically balanced to that crank (generally a light weight pulley) can literally induce so much torsional vibration into the bottom end that it can snap the crank into two pieces..
