I guess my point is if you are doing something that involves the belts or pulleys and are in that neighborhood why not replace a75 dollar part that could lead to catastrophic failure. Beedub I think they are good for longer than that , but it depends on use. Its easy to tell if you start losing boost and your belt is noticeably loser this is likely the culprit.

I'm on 101k miles on my original tensioner. No slip, but I'm only doing 6 psi with no track time.

Did you have to get a re-tune after the fuel pump upgrade?

Not to over run your thread, but thought I would let you know that there were know boost leaks. I will change the tensioner but the belts aren't glazed or make ANY noise

Well, I emailed AJ. He said that I had a boost leak or air intake restrictions. I opened up the area around the air intake ( I made a wall that covered 1 inch of the back half of the filter). I pulled 7.3 psi in 3rd and did a pull on a nearly deserted freeway in 4th and got 9.3psi on peak recall. The car nearly scared the hell out of me. I will fabricate something to increase the air to the filter.

It makes sense, considering what the filter, slinky toy does before the super charger |

What's the excuse for the super charger pulley? Are they sending the replacements free of charge?
