Description
Upgrade your Volkswagen’s performance with the Neuspeed Power Pulley Kit for the PQ35 platform with 1.8L / 2.0L TSI EA888.3 engines. Designed to improve power delivery and throttle response, this kit reduces parasitic drag by under-driving the crankshaft pulley, allowing the engine to rev faster and more freely.
Neuspeed’s engineering team used advanced CAD tools and mass properties analysis to design a pulley that maintains OEM reliability while significantly reducing rotational weight. The result is a gain of 5–7 horsepower with enhanced drivability and quicker engine response—all without compromising durability.
The included pulley is CNC-machined from 7075 high-strength aluminum, then hard anodized for long-term wear resistance. Unlike decorative anodizing, hard anodizing forms a tough, deeply bonded surface layer. Neuspeed also integrates a ground-finished stainless steel ring, a unique feature that prevents wear at the crankshaft oil seal—an exclusive innovation in aftermarket pulley design.
Each kit includes a lightweight underdrive crankshaft pulley, crankshaft bolt, and correctly sized shorter belt for a hassle-free installation. With over 20 years of pulley development and zero reported failures, Neuspeed continues to set the standard for VW/Audi performance components.
