Opinions from people that own the smaller s/c pulley
I want to know how they are holding up so far ? Do you guys really feel the claim of 2psi in boost ? How is the thottle response ? How many miles have you put on with it so far and is it running with no problems what so ever ? Still on the fence about it just want multiple opinions from ppl that have DD the car and done a ton of WOT with it installed.
Thanks

Mine hasnt given me any troubles thus far. I only put about a 1,000 miles on my car before I put it away for winter storage though.. I did go to the track with it, so have a few WOT pulls on it. You shouldnt have any troubles with it.

I had one of the first one. The rivets came loose so I had to return and Shardul sent me a new one. The second is fine for about a month and now the screeching sound coming back. I just need to re shim it.
As far as the 2psi claim, that is very generous estimate. May be on a stock car? I see less than 1psi increase.
Is it worth it? Hell yeah!! Just the reduce weight alone is worth it.
Now Shardul and company need to come out with a clutch less pulley.

I say go for it. I don't drive my car much, less than 4k miles a year so I can't speak to the durability aspect of the pulley. I can tell you from a performance perspective, its a no brainer, easy install and expect at least 20hp/20+ torque. Finding a better bang for your buck, not likely.

I think after the new intercooler my next project will be switching to a clutchless SC setup. I think mostly so I can continue to be the bane of Jerry's existence

I've thought about, but it seems crappy to have to be stock with the clutch. I need to buy a ruined SC so I can tear it apart completely and see if we can come up with something better.
