Warning!!!! Beware to buyer!!! FAKE ALTA Supercharger Pulleys!!!

It has come to our attention that there are supercharger pulleys being sold as the ALTA Performance™ supercharger pulleys. These pulleys are similar in their initial appearance but have no ALTA™ logo or size designation engraved onto the face. DO NOT BE FOOLED!! These pulleys are not manufactured by ALTA Performance™. These products do not carry any of the same warranty or quality standards of the ALTA Performance™ is known for.

**YOU COULD ALREADY BE A VICTIM**

Many customers have been sold, or may have had Supercharger Pulleys installed on their vehicle which were represented to them as "ALTA" pulleys. These pulleys are similar in basic appearance but have a blank face or similar logo. These fake "ALTA" pulleys are inexpensive and untested copies of the ALTA Performance™ pulley and do not carry any warranty or guarantee by the ALTA Performance™ Corporation. Many customers have been told that they were ALTA™ products and thus would have the full "ALTA" warranty.

Owners of the counterfeit "ALTA" Pulleys are likely to experience a product failure.
The actual size of the pulley may not be accurate. We do not know what the actual size these counterfeit pulleys are. 15%, 17%, 19% 21%? Boost levels may exceed your engines capability or be small enough to lower performance.
We of course cannot vouch for the integrity of the hardware that was used to secure the (2) halves of the pulley. The screws could back out causing the pulley to fall off of the end of the supercharger!!!!
The inner portion of the supercharger pulley may cause unrepairable damage to your supercharger shaft during installation and through constant use. The belt grooves cut into the pulley may be off center, too sharp or too shallow causing the supercharger belt to be thrown off or shredded.

This part comes with ZERO warranty!
If there isn’t an ALTA™ logo engraved into the face, it is not a true ALTA Performance Product.
The ALTA Performance™ pulley is packaged in its own box including full instructions, Warranty card, Warranty claims form, and two ALTA stickers. This box should be factory sealed with the production date stamped on the outside. A color coded mark will appear next to the date to designate the warehouse employee who package the part.

If you were misled that you were either receiving or having installed an ALTA Performance™ product and you now believe you have actually received one of these fake pulleys; Please contact the dealer/reseller you purchased the part from and demand a full refund plus reinstallation costs (if applicable) for an actual ALTA™ part.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. We are only attempting to protect our customers, our products integrity and the MINI community. Please do not hesitate to contact us immediately if we can help.

Thank you
