idler pulley
My upper idler pulley (guide pulley), the plastic 8 grooves on the upper left right next to the supercharger pulley, is sometime making squeaking noise. Do any of you know where to buy a replacement beside the stealer?
Thanks,

You're referring to part # 120 200 04 70, right?

Is your tensioner's 'tension range' still essentially the same?
Been experimenting with variously-sized idler and tensioner pulleys in a effort to minimize supercharger drive pulley slippage – while not overtly jeopardizing accessory bearing life – with its evosport ODPS.
Pretty sure she's still holding out.
TIA

The upper idler pulley is slightly larger then oem, but the middle idler pulley is slighty smaller then oem. Most of the slack is taken up by the new idler pulley above the alternator.
Right now i'm running the oem middle idler pulley until i get another washer for the code3 one. I'm pretty happy with the setup consider i needed replace the idle pulleys..since the upper one started sounding like a lawnmower.
I would with the belt wrap kit..it completely eliminates that initial pause you get from when you push the gas and the car starts to pull from a stop. After that i didnt really notice a difference in performance.
Here are josh's pics from the other thread. I'll try to get a better pic of the tensioner pulley tomorrow.
