If that were the case wouldn't the bolts have snapped when they were first done, not while he was driving?

reason why I say that is from a similar experience of mine. When I use to have my 02 cavy I got rims from discount tire and when they put them on I'm guessing they just used the impact. They tightened them way to tight and I drove for a couple of days and all of a sudden..... my driver side rear studs decide to brake off. All but 1 broke, luckly I was in residential and not highway when this happened.

I'm confused. Someone please clear this up. Did the bolts from the pulley get in the charger or the bolts that mount it to the manifold fall in? Depending on the answer, bombs will be dropped.

i think he means that they sheared. like the heads snapped off so the threads are still where they should have been.

I don't know that you can run a Billetflow pulley on a TVS... I could have sworn that the only pulley's you can run on a TVS... are the Pulleys from Harrop. Don't quote me on that though, as I haven't paid much attention to the TVS community in the last year.

EDIT: Did my research, guess I was wrong. People do make pulleys for the TVS.

Yeah... OTTP carries Smoothflow pulleys for the TVS. ZZP only has 2 sizes, but I don't know what brand they are.

okay well harry potter here (gangsta ross) decided to spend like 10k dollars on TVS'ing his 2.4 with stock internals. he gets a pic then we ask for vids. he says he needs new plugs. so we wait some more, and bs about how much of a fail this build is.

then he posts more pics of the blower on the car and him with his pants around his ankles. he ended up making 270whp with no vid or chart to back it up and now claims that he cant go to the track tomorrow cause he somehow sheared all the bolts off the pulley and is now buying a pulley from billetflow who do in fact make pullies so Ross isnt completely retarded.

the end.



just a sample of their work. they look pretty good. .

although i dont know if they make TVS pullies, not sure if they're any different.
