Not sure what your talking about.....the pulley is kept from turning by a [dont know what they call them] metal piece about an inch long , it has a slot that you slide it into after you put the pulley on . Then you bolt it down . Nothing needed but the pulley it self

the jackshaft bolthead on my new pulley seems to have a slight (very) warble to it.////



it seems tight, but it cant be good that it's not spinning true (conversely, the pulley body behind the bolt IS spinning true....



help??

if you go the the vortech website, and click on the pulley, and click on more info, it states that the pulley retainer assembly is required for installation, i figured i didnt need it.

new info::

seems there's ever-so-slightly a pulse (and i mean slight... you havat know to look for it!!) with the key and this pulley.... its jus a RCH amount of tolerance between the groove and the key...

the good news is that the pulley spins true as it gets.....

i retensioned the gilmer belt guide, and found that makes a HUGE difference in compressor sound....


i dont think it's supposed to be very tensioned (beyond just pushing down on it evenly, then tightened), as the entire assembly (and BOV, subsequently) is MUCH MUCH quieter than if i leaned hard on the tensiuoner before tightening....


does this make any sense?? hope so...

anyway, the ECU seems to have awakened, and all i can say now is

HOLY SH#T!!!! the new pulley makes this thing pull ALOT harder (ALL thru the lower rpm's) than the oem pulley...

granted, im not going above 4-5lbs of boost until im remapped, but anyway..... its NIGHT and DAY....... i feel like the car just lost 800 lbs of weight....

no joke....

bring on the dyno... bring it on!!
