as far as these go thats all well and good but some of those "idler" pullies may get in the way of peoples single turbo's. so im kinda curious if anyone has a replacment waterpump pulley that has ribs in it to run the belt around it instead of on the back of the belt? wouldnt the ribbing give you the extra "grip" you need to prevent slippage at the correct belt tension?

ya sorry guys i thought about this one for like ten minutes before still posting it and then did anyway....oops

BUT i do have a picture on my home computer that has it run exactly this way so maybe he has a different impeller or is just waiting to blow his motor i wish i could post it here as the rest of the setup is pure track...

It would run the water pump in the opposite direction
