Tuner should be able to tell the belt is slipping by monitoring boost, if you're not seeing ~15psi with 72mm pulley you're slipping or have a boost leak.
sending 68 to get it “griptec” to prevent slippage. Hopefully it’ll help. Check out link.

Only thing found on gates rpm belts is through gates site but can’t seem to place order direct. Will have to contact gates.

Worth a try, the extra 10mm in length should be taken up by the tensioner. A decent belt and griptec should result in more boost, hopefully all of it.

Did I see your car at PIR last year, or one that looks like it?

Just installed new SC Tensioner, saw 13 psi on the street with light WOT, so positive sign.

No, never been to PIR. I’m in So Cal...what’s PIR? Lol

Probably about right with the lth and the TB I guess. I see around 12~ and peaks of 13.7 iirc but I dont believe that the peak is sustained more like a spike. I dont know where people get some of these boost numbers from 15psi off a 72mm must be with stock exhaust!

That was Travis Rife's car, but he sold it and bought a truck.

Fantomas, have we met in person? I can't keep up with screen names! I'll have my M113k swapped CLK at PIR and Woodburn this year. Stop and say Hi if you see me.

We ran into each other in 2017-2018, I had the stock C55 and you were there in the CLK55 back when it was stock. We had a little chat and lined up for a race but somebody spotted a few drops from your rear diff and it never happened. Going to be out there this year and I'll stop and say hi.

Ah yes, I remember that! It turned out to just be a leaky drain plug. I eventually got the car to run 12.55 on the NA motor before I blew it up.
