Procharger belt alignment?
Procharger belt alignment? I have the sdce J bracket on my TA, the procharger belt is squeaking. The belt visually looks lined up but im guessing it's not causing the squeak. What's the best way to figure out what way I need to move the bracket.
I also had to do a little shimming with my SDCE bracket. I bought one one of these...

Ended up getting a .050" thick shim for the blower head unit pulley and had to add a .125 thick shim to the bottom standoff nut to make the J bracket straight to the engine.

You will absolutely need the laser alignment tool. There is no way you will ever be able to line pulleys up by sight. Even with a straight edge, you will still have to account for the difference in thickness of the pulley shoulders.
Also, your pulleys could not be paralell to each other. This can be diagnosed by putting the laser on the blower and shooting to the crank. Then put the laser on the crank and shoot to the blower. If they don't match, you've got a parallelism issue.

One more thing to add... When you pull the belt off spin the pulley on the SDCE spring tensioner by hand to see it the bearing is going, and spin the original procharger supplied pulley by hand. The squeaking could be a bearing. I would still get the laser tool just to make sure the belt is perfect. Like "tvanlant" said it's a must in my book too.
