Curious about your Vac and Boost readings?

Vadim...
His pullies diameter is 182mm, stock ones are 156mm...
What can be done in that case and why you have belt slipping with Evo pullies then ???
We need your reccomendations...
Finn

Are you sure those guys going to make these staff, cuase they replied to ME and said they dont offer anything for E55 Kompressors ...

Doug was also kind enough to offer the first wrap kit free to the individual who allows him to measure up from their car.
Billet Flow (http://www.billetflow.com) fabricate many after-market parts and distribute through many dealers. On this link, he offers 10 free kits for other car types for promotion... Read this from Doug http://www.redlineforums.com/forums/...r-pulleys.html

Another after-market kit would be easily installed to increase s/c belt foot print around pulley. This wouldn't be required for individuals who have a stock setup. This solution = More pulley grip and as a spin off would increase belt longevity.
I hope I have explained myself correctly.

Has there been any progress on this?? I know more than a few people are waiting on a solution for this problem.

So... with Victors 80mm TB mod, extra spring tension and increased s/c pulley foot print, we'll see what happens....
As soon as these projects are finished I'll post all the dyno results, photos and specs etc... I'll also send my idler mount and tensioner version to Billet Flow so they can refine and make a more pretty and or improved version.
An adjustable valve spring and a larger wheel will be used on the next tensioner version.
Sorry I can't be quicker...
See ya...
