fluidampr vs ATI super harmonic balancer??

[ozzie_1978]

I have searched but haven't found much on if one is actually better than the other. Fluidampr is about $130 cheaper but ATI claims to be better because it actually replaces the crank gear. Anyone care to make suggestions on this and give reasons?

Fluidampr replaces the whole damper as well. It's also flexible with any engine frequency. My advice is to go with Fluidampr.

Ok, rather than make another post asking the exact same thing I am wondering the exact same thing. For such a price difference wtf is different about the ATI

So from what I read here from the OP. The ATI replaces the OEM crank gear. And I take it the Fluidampr does not. So then the ATI is a solid piece. which is cool. Makes me question how well the gear compaires to the factory OEM one though. So is that then the ONLY real difference? And if so how much of an advantage is having it all once piece assuming the gear is manufactured dead on with the OEM part.

Fluidampr replaces the whole dampner as well. It's also flexible with any engine frequency. My advice is to go with Fluidampr.

You, do realise they both work the same right. Meaning there both "flexible with any engine frequency"

Does anyone have a part number for a fluidampr? I saw nothing on their site for DSM's. I have a 2G TSi AWD.

EDIT ~ Nevermind, I went to the wrong site (it had a dash in the middle and seemed to only show diesel truck parts) I found the right url. thanks.
