Thanks, Pete! I have an M7 16% on the way and I just picked up the smaller belt today. I'll soon be taking my car to the dyno for a pre-mod baseline. Once I've done that, I'll get in touch for the install! Cheers!

Don't waste your time at Turner. Go see Pete, he knows what he is doing.

Hi Pete,
I'm just north of Mass. and I'd like to get an M7 16% pulley installed. How much would you charge to install that on an 05 MiniCoop S and would I need to get a different belt. I've got about 60k on the stocker.
Thanks

Kevin Holmes at Turners has been "crew chief" for my car for four years. I highly recommend Turners as a shop, and Kevin as an individual.

That of course does NOT mean you should necessarily take your business there, but I thought I'd balance the quoted observation a bit.

Cheers,

Charlie

I'm not putting down Turner but for the $ and simplicity of a pulley swap I recomend Pete. Plus I always give props to a fellow NAM member with many satisfied customers that have had him do a pulley. If you are looking at building a racing machine Turner would be mentioned.

Pete, did you do a pulley party last year in NH? If so I think you did my convertible and I may need some help from you.

Hey Pete, I live in Boston too, been looking for someone with a good reputation around the area. I'm planning on ordering a Alta 17% reduction pulley for my 04' Stock MCS w/ about 55K miles on it. Do you have a price quote on how much the installation would cost and the time it would take? Is it a in and out kind of service? Also would you recommend a belt change as well? Thanks.

always change your belt when your changing your pulley. I do NOT recommend gatorbacks. They will hide the squeel of a misaligned pulley. I found this out the hard way. Get a Napa belt.
