can we assume you are adjusting it properly? Looks like you insert a socket wrench in the square hole, put tension on the belt by pulling the socket wrench and tighten.

yeah , i bolt it up like a stocker does and the belt wont fit , ive looked it all over and their is nothing i can do other than a longer belt , i don't want to do another belt this year bc i don't want to take the procharger off. Even if i put the stock pulley on its tight as hell and it wont work correctly .

Im just hoping someone chimes in a says it works with the stock belt your doing something wrong , bc i want to use this and don't want to change belts.

I use a Katech manual tensioner. Bolts to the stock idler location and works fine with the stock pulley and belt. Seems crazy to me that someone would design one that required a different belt. Good luck solving the problem

I run a katech with a Meziere water pump and we had to get a belt that is a 1/2" longer to make it easy to get on and off.
