so who has a vortec charger on a vr6?.... why do u ahve to machean the pully on the ac compressor?.... and if i do it my self w/ a gridner/sander is that an issue?

ok, come on u bastards, some one tell me how bad it realy is to get off the ac pully so it can be sent out to have all the rib's taken off of it?......

i've never fucked with the charger kits...

and never pulled an A/C pulley...

but...

why the fuck would they require that? if the kit requires that, i'd look at rerouting the belt (if not buying a different kit), cause that's fucking rediculous. it just takes an idler pulley to prevent that kind of work. if somebody designed a kit like that (not VF or C2) they are fucking morons and it's no wonder it's an obsolete kit...but i know the VF and C2 (basically the same if you ask me, C2 having minor differences in their idler pullies and chip tuning) are bolt on....that means no modification such as removing the ribs from the A/C compressor pulley.

well, i still stick to that being the most retarded fucking thing i've ever heard.

i bet gates carries a double sided belt in teh length you need, C2 just isn't contacting gates directly, but rather going with something from worldpac or the likings.

more reason for me to go VF if i get a charger....that's rediculous.

Oh, and no I wouldn't grind it.  Find someone who can chuck it into a lathe and do it right.

tim, i understand what your saying, that's what we did at BBM, but we did it in such a way that it's a true bolt on kit.

i wonder if you have old instructions jess, VF claims it's an 8 hour install process...we did one at BBM on a MK4 VR....no grinding of ANY pulleys....it took 7 1/2 hours.

i htink ill be runinng like 12-15lbs of boost, i have the updated pully system form C2 that allows more belt wrap and is suposed to elminate 99% of belt slip age. its realy just a pully off an audi and a shim, and bolt. they sold it to me for 50 buks w/ a template as to wehre i should put the hole for it in one of my existing brackets.....

guess i should grab a spare ac compressor form RS and have a machean shop mill down the silly pully and be done with it. thing cant cost me more than what 20buks to have done. my "bolt on" kit so far has required me to basily repalce everything but the blower, blower mount brakets and....... noep thats it. iv upgraded my ams kit w/ evertying i could get form C2 to make it a better (not super star rad but better) set up. and it scost more than i got teh damn AMS kit for...... kind of lame in my book for what iim into this i could have easily went trubo and been done with it and probably better off. but im too far into this bucket of shit ot stop now........ that and i know if i put on a turbo id blwo it up w/ the boost to high at least this way im limited on what i can do w/ the boost ro soemthing haah.... fuck me..... more i think of it this was over all a BAD idea......... but hay its my bad idea.... not like iv ever had oneof them ebfor!......

Did you ever go with the charger vr setup?
