My Car's Power Steering Pulley Exploding On The Dyno
 
Figured id post some LOL material, around 6500 rpm my power steering pulley decided it had enough and went grenade mode. Shrapnel went through the metal upper radiator hose as well as the radiator.

BIG THANKS TO THE GUY THAT DONATED ME A POWER STEERING PULLEY. YOUR A LIFE SAVOR.

I saw your car sitting next my trailer with the belt off and pulley gone. I wondered what happened

Man i remember when you told me that happened but you started off in this very bad tone i was just like o man this isnt good. I was expecting the worst :secret2:

I was watching that pull when it commited Pulley-icide. It looked a lot worse than it ended up I guess.

bahah yea at first all i saw was black flying plastic, and the first thing i thought of was wtf did my intake just explode, how is that even possible on N/A Setup.

and as much as it sucked i was still pretty happy that it wasnt the engine tranny or rear end lol.

Im just glad noone got impaled or nothing
