I agree with you Sabretooth, but sometimes we want to maximize performance with the least sacrifice in comfort. So if NST makes the A/C pulley, putting a whole pulley kit on a completely stock yaris will be a significant addition in performance and fuel economy. However there will always be trade off like increase in vibration, but this is minor and I am sure it is worth the trade off.

I demand Lighweight A/C pully now!

Actually I dont see why not, it would just mean more $$ in the bank for NST!!
I would buy, but the point is not to use A/C while in High Performance use.

If one is so concerned about shaving weight the A/C compressor would be gone, the A/C pulley it's self does not weigh much it is the cluch that has all the weight. Even if there was a lightened AC pulley you would be adding the weight right back on by reinstalling the clutch so the AC will function properly, and has anyone else here changed a compressor clutch with out breakin open the system? it does not look fun on our car... A lightened AC pulley would be a useless mod, like color matched piston rods
