Re: crankshaft pulley

I did a search for crankshaft pulleys and found numerous posts about failures so I don't think this is caused by anything but design/manufacture problems, since the cause is almost always the separation of the rubber damper. I want to change to a one piece design and it seems that the pulleys from all models (legacy/impreza/outback/forester/WRX, STI? 2/2.5l) can be swapped even though they don't have a rubber damper; one post even has a quote from SOA concerning the damper where SOA says the damper is not needed because the SVX (all) boxer engines are INTERNALLY balanced. I don't want an under drive (Smaller) pulley but I could use a lightened OEM sized pulley; when I look at the lightened pulleys on Ebay for other Subaru models, they all look like they are not the same outside diameter as the OEM SVX pulley; they look smaller. Any recommendations or suggestions for an OEM SVX sized lightened pulley?
