Default Crank pulley for a boost motor?

Ok. I need a crank pulley. I sold off my motor, and and the march pulley i had got included in the deal.

My new motor will be going in the car very soon. I have read before people say do not use an underdrive pulley on turbo cars?

What do you guys think?

What pulley do you like the best? Im trying to not spend 500 on the ati.

The car will have a very short belt. the car will have an ALT, and tensioner, and crank. that is it.

Thanks, Chris

I don't understand why a underdrive pulley would be bad on a turbo charged car? I guess If you add a meth pump, oil return pump, adequate charging might be a problem.

Im not sure.... i have just seen some people say it. I remember always seeing never go with a lightweight flywheel on a turbo car as well..

Might have to do with the weight, and loading the turbo or something.. I dont think it will make a big difference, but never seen alot of info about the topic, so just wondering what people thought.

Thanks, Chris
