Wanted!! R53 standard pulley
Discussion
Hi, recently upgraded the pulley on my supercharger but have been having engine issues (didn't do any other upgrades) so want to put a standard one back on..
Does anyone have / or know of the best place to get a standard or 0% pulley.. or would anyone like my upgraded one in return for standard.. I think it's 11%
Thanks
Any info much appreciated!!!!

engine issues from an 11% pulley?
Seconded! I just put a 15% on (changed supercharger oil and waterpump too)and have no issues. There are also many other people that have reduced the pulley by more than 11% and report no issues. It may just be accentuating an existing issue.What engine issues do you have?
Also, I doubt you will be able to refit a standard pulley onto the shaft, it is an interference fit and is also a pain to line up correctly anyway.
Probably cheaper to either fix whatever engine issue you may have or get a new / second hand charger if you really want to go back to standard.
As stated above, good luck fitting the original back on. It needs to be heated to 300-400c to be refitted and even then, it doesn't just slide back on.
If you're having engine issues at a 11% pulley reduction, you are guaranteed to have them soon enough at 0% pulley. You're much better to fix your engine issues nwo.
