Just installed R53 15% Pulley Upgrade
Wow what a difference 5 hrs of work and the help of my mechanic makes!
I bought the 15% Pulley and removal tool from Alta Performance. Alta's instructions said to remove all the motor mounts to do the job but after watching ModMini on youtube we decided we could do it with taking off just the one side. Everything went smoothly. Just remember to have an inch lbs tork wrench on hand. (I had to barrow one for a truck shop down the street.)
Everything is back together and now I am about to go take it down the Cali coast Hwy 1 to Monterrey.
Cheers!
P.S. If anyone needs a pulley tool I have one for sale

I want to install a wideband before I add a pulley. Plus I already have a 2% ATI Overdrive harmonic balancer so I don't want to add too much heat to the intake air. And I don't know the safe limits of the supercharger if you have a 2% crank pulley. It freaks me out if I might run too hot/lean

So just go with our WMW 15% and you're fine. The heat and lean concern isn't for a street car as you don't stay at high rpm like you would on the track.
