[QUO That's with no tune and just the mods shown in my signature.[/COLOR][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR]
Why are you staying away from a tune? The tune is what makes all this extra "work".
You act as though your concerned about issues but the issues wouldn't be realevant if you were to just get the appropriate tuneing on your ECU. I think you would find more zip in your step with just the tune than with just the pulley.
If you are worried,
if you want power,
if you want to experiance the full ability of the gain in boost,
GET YOUR ECU SENT OUT TODAY!
I assure you, you won't be dissatisfied.
PS if you are they will turn it back to stock and refund your money. What have you to lose?

GOSH! After Tighed1 boost findings,I"m now more interested than ever towards the 185 pulley with cooling mods. Stock idler pulley with a longer belt. And (YES) A tune! I'm still somewhat concerned with the increased waterpump rpm's. Maybe by income tax returns, the magic formular will be discovered. Don

i assume were hitting the max of the map sensor causing some of the issues but im checkign into that, either way please get a wideband on the car if you try to install them stacked again but i would absolutely not recommend it yet.
does anyone know the map sensors limitation off the top of their head so i wont have to pressurize one with a volt meter?

Answer: $$$$$
When I get the "extra" money to get a tune I'll get one.
Will also have to do research to see which tune gives the best results as report by my friends here on CrossfireForum.org!
Donations towards tune accepted!!

Boost is tapped at the "Y" that comes out of the IC. Have seen a lot of us have used the same spot.
