This weekend I will be putting on my new Alta 15% pulley and tensioner on my 04 MCS. I have the Alta puller tool as well. Any prep advice are appreciated. Should I spray the supercharge pulley and shaft with anti-seize or 10wd40 over night?
Thanks.
Good, glad you have the puller tool as it will make this job that much easier. We have a DIY that can help you HERE. We also have a belt tensioner DIY HERE. Let me know if you have any questions while reviewing those articles.

No need to soak the pulley overnight and DO NOT use any antiseize, just remove the pulley, install the new pulley, make sure to use red loc-tite and proper torque on the pulley bolts.
You got the proper spark plugs for the reduction pulley, correct? They are a necessity.
Other than that, it's a relatively straight forward job, should take you 3-4 hours as a first time. We have them down to a science and it takes us around 40 minutes.
@ PelicanParts: Thank you for the links! This will help out a lot.
@ nkfry: Gotcha! Got the spark plugs and new MSD wire ready to go. I just hope these little up grades could put little smile grin on my face like my Cayenne turbo. 40 minutes! That's madness!

It's about a 20 HP improvement for under $200 in parts, not many modern cars have that going for them.
Everyone who has ever had us install a pulley either calls us immediately or is ecstatic the next time they are in for service.

You're welcome. If you need anything else just let me know.
Got the pulley on and it works wonderfully! Even more fun to drive!
I attached images for future reference in regards to Alta pulley tool. I've been trying to find images of the Alta pulley tool in action and could never find one on the internet. So just for others to use as a reference I attached the images. from my experience.
