This isn't a "set". It's just a 25% smaller crank pulley to underdrive everything by 25%.
The udp "sets" that I've seen advertised that include a water pump pulley generally contain a larger water pump pulley to underdrive the water pump even more than the other accessories. The water pump and fan (if engine-driven) are the major parasitic consumers of power.
Some udp sets include an overdrive (smaller) alternator pulley to eliminate charging issues. With most modern alternators, that's not an issue.
