Photo's of stock C32 pulley system needed
Hello fellow members,
I am in dire need of photo's of what the stock C32 pullies look like (still installed in the car). I've had Evosports ODPS since 03, and I just had some warranty work done at the dealer due to the infamous "squeaking around the supercharger". My service writer told me they had changed the compressor/tensionor pulley. As far as observing what they changed, all the major components of the ODPS kit (crank, alternator, pwr steering) is there, but it seems like one of the tensioners supplied with the Evo kit has been swapped out (but I can't be 100% sure). I've looked at pictures of the ODPS kit on Evo's website to compare, but still can't really tell. Can anyone of you please post a photo of the stock system? I would certainly appreciate it.
Cheers!

Auxo: Look at the picture below. Sorry, it is not very clear, but it was the best I could find. There are three tensioners on C32. We replace lower and middle one in our C32 ODPS kit. Upper one remains stock.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

I had no luck trying to get a hold of you for the last 2 weeks. I left voicemail,messages with Mike, but didn't hear from you...so I decided to get some help from members, but then you came to the rescue!
I believe the middle tensioner you referred to has been swapped out, since I see MB part number on the surface of that tensioner. The car is running fine, but I am not sure if there are any adverse effect for keeping the stock tensioner. When the dealer performed the warranty work, they told me that the bearing in the tensioner went bad and was "loose".
I will make an appointment to have you guys make that final determination.
Thanks.
