Thanks for the response. Actually I did see this pulley, but I'm not so confident in the seller. The installation instructions are also really complicated and advised to take out the entire supercharger to remove the pulley. Showed this to my mechanic and he advised against it. Plus I prefer to do installs myself where possible. Would also need a smaller drive belt and would have to do the research.

Since I see that you are active, do you have any advise on power mods I could do for my car with the most bang for the buck?? Already have Kleeman headers, k&n air filter, highflow cat, second cat delete, high flow muffler, sprintbooster, eurocharged tune, sway bars, new tires, and light oz wheels..

Anything else out there you would recommend??

Looks like this mod just swaps out the harmonic dampner. A pain but doable. Any obvious risks you can foresee?

Fair enough. How did you like your pulley upgrade? Was the cost worth the additional power in your opinion.

It's good to see some enthusiasm/activity on this forum. I love my car, so nimble compared to my former car. And with my current mods it is a beast
