Out of curiosity, why do you need the pulley changed? Do these wear or go wrong??

hey thanks, ill give them a call

No ive bought a 17% reduced pulley kit, and its a bit of a big job to do your self. Involves jacking the engine up.

You'll be wanting to speak to Kieth or Davie. They are good guys.

Does the pulley make much of a difference? Do you need a shorter belt??

Ive heard they give around a 20bhp increase peak. But the real gains are lower down, the reduced size means the S/C spins to a higher rpm relative to engine rpm. So more boost low down.

Yea you need a smaller belt. You can get a kit including the pulley and belt for £70 on ebay. Or about £100 including some colder spark plugs.

Definitely plenty Gains for low cost.

They work on my mini all the time and they have done a good few of these upgrades in the past. I will be getting them to do mine when the time comes
