996TT Underdrive Pulley options

I have been hearing a lot lately about companies coming out with Underdrive pulleys and was wondering if anyone has any experience with these? I have my motor out and I think it would be a good time to throw one on.

Which companies are making them and what kind of gains are being seen? I have had these on some of my past vehicles and I know they do pick up some gains from the smaller circumference but have also heard of a lot of problems they cause. Is the factory pulley a harmonic balancer? Will these cause premature bearing wear? Will the alternator still put out full voltage?

the one made by PD under drives the accessories and doesn't provide a full charge wit the alternator and such it was designed to slow the accessories on cars seeing real high rpms for long periods.

the EVOMS one is a lighter version of stock No accessory under drive AFAIK(they dont list it on the website and wont answer the phone to talk so cant get any more info )

i looked into it i would ask BBI which version theres is but i dont want my car not charging at idle we have enough electric issues, a lighter version of stock pulley id go with that.

the smaller under driven pulley also needs a new belt
