I have an Autospeed one on my B5.
I installed it during my first T-belt job. I couldn't tell you if I realized any gains or not. You would probably only see a difference on a dyno, not enought to feel. On the other hand, I have had no problems with running it and I am now almost due for my second T-belt, 60,000 miles. I didn't go with an underdrive pulley because I didn't want my alternator to suffer. I also didn't want to have remember a different-than-stock size belt when I need to replace it.

I have the ECS Tuning one that they were selling with their t-belt kit...
I put it on when I did my t-belt. No problems with it but I can't really say if it did anything or not performance-wise.

I don't think so...
I think its to smooth out the inherently rough nature of a little 4cyl in a 3400lb car...
I decided on a steel flywheel from 034, with a 6 button ceramic disc with sprung hub..
