Why have a NST pulley if it aint going on your car? Did you want to make a wall clock out of it or a liteweight paperweight? Do you have plans to put it on your car?

I'm surprised Camelll you aren't stressing more over the idea of some shlepp with a Wallyworld torque wrench putting on a new pulley? I mean if it isn't tight enough, there's your vibration. Would seem a lot more likely that the wrench would be out of cal, or the engine slipped on the last torque than the pulley was the problem.

Never forget the human factor.

I'm having a hard time understanding your argument when you have a supercharger on your engine. You implied that the reason you installed it - despite the known risks - is because the manufacture freely admits (or at least doesn't dispute) it may cause a problem. Your main point of contention for not installing the pulley is that NST hasn't publicly stated it may cause a problem - or maybe it's that when asked they reply "empirical evidence shows the pulleys to be a high quality product and we have little or no complaints." Either way, you need to find a better excuse.

There are plenty of people that think installing an SC on the Yaris isn't worth the risk (myself included) yet you don't see any of us bitching at the manufacturers or those that have them installed.

If you don't want to install the pulley because you think it's bad for your engine then don't do it and just leave it at that.

Hell, a few members who installed the blitz supercharger started running extremely lean in F/A mixture in another thread, I'd say that's more of a concern than running a pulley, why are you so obsessed with proving that running the NST pully will damage the car?
