holly cow finally installed 1.5lb pulley only took me no less than 8 hours
Just a heads up on an 08 xkr to get the pulley off and on is a big pain in the butt. equipment :1.5lb eurotoys pulley and eurotoys tool.
Radiator support has to come off, draining coolant, piping has to come out of the way and some of the hoses are really baked on on there, belt off. Then when it came to remove the pulley off it's a beach, even with a 2 ft breaker bar it was hell of a work out and a long process. Install was not any easier.
Finally took her for a ride after 2 days of work. Can't really say I feel a big difference maybe slightly better pickup, need to drive more to confirm and take her to the drag strip

The snout of the supercharger had to be filed down by 2mm all round for the small pulley. I bought the pulley of powerhouseuk. They told me it could be fitted without removing the supercharger , but it is impossible to get a good job done this way and would have caused a mess.
The guy who done it for me (Ken) took the supercharger off to do a professional job. The coolant had to be drained and throttle body taken off and another few pieces. The supercharger belt still fitted when the work was finished.
I had mine remapped as well by Black Code Remapping.
The only mod i had was the performance exhaust. Top end is near the same ,but lower end is astonishing. The slightest touch of throttle and it's gone. Seems to change up the gears quicker and smoother. The power up to 3,000 revs is massive. It's just hard to describe, simply amazing.
Think maybe you should have went for the 2.5lb when you had so much to do, either way it is a seriously good upgrade.
