very odd, apparently my "old" belt was a 6pk2300. My ESS parts list shows it using a 6pk2315 so that's what I put in. Logic would say that this is a 15mm longer belt right?

I did a bunch of pulls and I'm getting a clean 7 to 8psi in 2nd gear at 7900rpm, but only hitting a max of 6psi on top of third gear... Slow boost leak, belt slip, or the rubber around the fittings on the air lines going to the boost gauge are old and maybe leaking there.

The new Continental Contitech 6pk2315 doesn't feel any tighter either. I think I was seeing similar boost numbers on the old no-name belt today actually..


ugh.....
