DIY? New SC pulley?

Hello my knowledgeable friends,

How hard is the DIY for a new pulley for the supercharger. Thinking about getting a Eurocharged tune with the 83mm super charger pulley which from my very limited knowledge will provide a little more boost and supplement the tune nicely.

Any thoughts suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'm not the handiest of guys but I can follow directions and use resources to get the job done.

Thanks again!

I can tell you that if you have the right tools, you can do it.

I tried doing it myself but I didn't have air tools so I couldn't do it. The pulley nut was way to hard to take off. I had a shop swap mine.

I tried a strap belt tool and it was useless. The 2 large hose clamp process works pretty well - and this worked for me. Not a hard process if you get the SC bolt off. Make sure you use the appropriate gap between the clutch and the friction pulley. A smaller gap works better than too much gap.

I'll be in Santa Barbara on Sat. if you need help.

I tried the clamps on mine as well and nothing. Maybe I had a stubborn one lol

takes the mechanic who works on my car less than 30 minutes to remove and re-install. If you can find a shop to do it in an hour or $100 = not a bad investment.

why only an 83?

also, folks smarter than me recommend clutched versus fixed.

good luck
