Keep Hp down or for an m62 supercharger? Weren't they saying in another thread that the m62 would need a larger pulley?

From ALTA's website

Sold exclusively for custom S/C and twin charged applications. Stainless steel construction guarantees a lifetime of durability and performance.
NOTE: This will lower boost pressures from stock levels on factory S/C.

Looks like this poor ebay seller is stuck with a bunch of essentially useless pullies.

Yeah the Helix kit uses an 8% oversized pulley. Guess the Alta uses a 5%.

Makes sence, if you ran a 17% supercharger and a turbo you would probably blow a connecting rod or something.
