I just put my cheapy in today. Works like a charm. No fitment issues at all. The only issue I had was that the bolts that came with it weren't big enough. But, that's alright. I just ended up using the bolts off the A/C compressor.

I run a cheapo on mine. I had to use the compressor bolts and shim it though. Very easy installation. I recommend a new belt when you swap the pulley in.

so a ebay cheapy should work fine... but i might need to add a few washers to each bolt to make it line up right?

It comes with the washer if it doesn't line up. But, I didn't have to use it. I also didn't need to swap the belt when I did it either. The belt I got when I put my underdrive pulley on worked just fine.

i got mine from Advanced Auto Patrs and i had to put one size bigger belt and if i remember right i had to put 1 washer on the top bolt and 2 on the other 2 bolts to line up right. I have since moved the alt to where the a/c compressor went so i cant really remember.
