I guess in an application like that it can work, but it seems like a major loss of efficiency at that point...but I guess you're using it to scrub boost so the intent is to lose power...losing efficiency does that right?

Thats why I said not to do it if you plan on cutting more than 3-5# of boost, just up the pulley size.
