So, I am in the market to replace my factory supercharger pulley with an 83mm pulley. UPD and VRP both make 83mm aluminum supercharger pulleys for the E55 platform. After doing some research I found a company that makes the same size pulley but in various material. They offer aluminum, steel, and titanium. I am really interested in the steel version since that is what the factory pulley is manufactured from. Also, I have found that the steel pulley is less likely to suffer from belt slip. Any dealings with Moscow Supercharge?
