The Fluidampr viscous torsional damper is an essential component in building a high performance 3.0 V6 TSI Supercharged Audi/Volkswagen engine.
We recommend you read our FAQ on Fluidampr technology to understand why this product is right for you.
A unique project between iABED Industries & Fluidampr to battle the concerns plaguing the 3.0 Supercharged engine such as:
- Failing OEM crankshaft accessory pulley
- No viable solution for crankshaft pulley upgrades in the future.
- No modular design
- Inabilityto add Stage 2+ power with a safer and more effective dampened crank pulley
When faced with these problems, we took everything we learned from the industry & the Audi community and went back to the drawing board. How do we design a damper that will be a viable replacement to the OEM (Part #) as well as be a modular design?
The main issue facing Stage 2+ owners was the inability to keep the OEM pulley intact. The rubber elastic ring holding the assembly together would either crack or completely tear apart resulting in the mass amounts of billet aluminum replacements being produced.
Make no mistake , this is not a block of metal chewed out to have 13 grooves. After 10 months of engineering and prototyping we proudly present the world's first viscous torsional vibration damper for the 3.0 V6 Supercharged motor .
With its multi function design , a user once installing the Fluidampr can upgrade to a larger supercharger drive pulley in under 20 minutes. No longer the need to put the vehicle into service mode or change the supercharger pulley once the Fluidampr is installed.With the unique modular design users can go from Stage 1 to Stage 2/ Stage 3 dual pulley with a simple add on drive on pulley which mounts to the face of the Fluidampr via (6) countersunk socket cap screws.
Key features
- Decreased Flywheel & Gearbox clatter (Especially with the 0B4 gearbox) . Flywheel clatter can be heard when converting from the OEM dual mass flywheel to a single mass flywheel (whether steel or aluminum)
- Decreased engine noise and increased smoothness on 7 speed Dual Clutch Gearbox (0B5) as well as 8-speed Automatic equipped chassis’
- RPM drop reduction
- Engine Vibration reduction
- Sized for an OEM replacement at 162mm. Does not over drive or under drive the accessories
- Steel construction with Black Zinc plating to combat oxidation of the elements unlike the OEM unit
- (6) equally spaced M8 x 1.25 threads on a 81mm bolt circle to allow additional larger supercharger drive pulleys to be installed without the need to change out the core unit
- SFI 18.1 certified
- ISO 9001:2008 certified
- Proudly Designed in Canada
- Proudly Manufactured in North America (U.S.A & Canada)
Technical notes
Note:* The maximum RPM as per Eaton's technical data = 24,000 rpm's

Sample scenario #1:
"I want an X Stage 2 dual pulley tune , I already have the Supercharger pulley installed previously from another vendor . What components do I need?"
Answer: You would need 9 components:
- (1) Fluidampr - 651211_C
- (1) 183mm Add on supercharger drive
- (1) 7PK1315 Belt
- (6) M8 x 30mm sscs socket cap screw
Sample scenario #2:
"I want an X Stage 2 dual pulley tune, I don’t have the supercharger pulleyinstalled and am upgrading from a stock S4.What components do I need?"
Answer: You would again only need 9 components:
- (1) Fluidampr - 651211_C
- (1) 203mm Add on supercharger drive
- (1) 7PK1350 Belt
- (6) M8 x 30mm sscs socket cap screw

Components included when purchasing for Stage 1:
- (1) Fluidampr x iABED 3.0 SC unit
- (1) Installation instruction booklet
- (6) M8 x 1.25 x 30mm stainless steel countersunk socket cap screw
Components included when purchasing for Stage 2 or Stage2+/3/etc.
- (1) Fluidampr x iABED 3.0 SC unit
- (1) iABED Larger diameter supercharger drive pulley
- (1) 7PK-XXXX belt
- (1) Installation instruction booklet
- (6) M8 x 1.25 x 30mm stainless steel countersunk socket cap screw
Special notes (Hardware & installation):
1. Install Fluidampr to crankshaft hub bolt as per OEM specifications.
2. Drive ring needs to be seated flush with the Fluidampr. Failure to do so will result in the belt walking off the Fluidampr/Supercharger.
3. Torque the (6) M8 x 1.25 countersunk stainless steel (A2-70) socket cap screws to 22Nm.
Special Notes (Ordering)!:
1. Vdamper / iABED only inventories 179mm & 183mm add on rings. Any size different from this requires a minimum of 2 weeks to CNC machine , inspect & anodize!
2. 180mm+ overdrive rings require clearance of an aluminum raised boss (Bottom left looking at the engine in service mode) on the upper oil pan in order to maintain the integrity of the belt.
3. Selection of the supercharger pulley is for belt sizing only . We do not sell Supercharger pulleys , the selection is only for us to supply you with the correct 7PK belt at the time of ordering.
4. 7PK Belts are extremely limited (Quality ones that is) in sizes over 1325mm . When ordering a 194mm ring or larger , your belt will be substituted to a trusted 6PK version similar in quality to the OEM Continental belt.
