This was the noise I started hearing which maybe bearing noise from that pulley at this point.

My pulley is in perfect condition. It has barely brushed my intake pipe. I did feel nervous about that plastic pulley before install because it did wiggle.
I will say this some of these ground down pulleys "could" be installation error. I still have room to position the pipe higher on the the supplied bracket.

If you are driving the car during the winter do you have a battle plan for a blower heater for cold starts?

Just checked my pulley/pipe clearance. No issues.
When I installed, I lifted the pipe before tightening the couplers/bracket for this exact reason It looks like less from the picture, but there is a good 8-9mm of clearance between pulley/pipe No rubbing Also, all owners should check their pipe for rubbing... it took less than 2 minutes with a flat blade screwdriver and a 10mm wrench to pull the pipe and check. The pipe DOES contact the hood insulation, but it doesn't really put pressure on the hood/pipe and only touches when fully closed. I am changing the pulley for a dayco/Duralast pulley. I wonder what the mfr. of the pulley that comes with our system is....

Dayco 89003 Pulley 76mm x 17mm Flat w/Flange, 26mm wide Gates 38006 Steel Smooth/Backside 76mm x 17mm x 30.5mm Its listed as a cross-reference for the 89003, and looks like it will actually give more room than the dayco pulley because it does not have the "guide" ridges on the ends of the pulley

Also are you guys removing the blower to change the belt?
It looks like with enough cursing, you don't need to.....

Hmm I will check when i get back in town next weekend for other places i may be rubbing. I am at 1,500-2,000 miles and just checked my idler pulley. Looks perfect. I have a decent clearance and everything is completely centered between pulleys, brackets, etc. I just made sure to line that up when installing. However when i reinstalled the MAF up pipe i forgot to check for clearance. I will verify if maybe instead of rubbing against the pulley if i am rubbing against the chasis on the passenger side.
Although the thought of a potential belt issue is un-easy considering when i get back i have a ~1,500+ mile road trip in the car coming up.

I checked mine this morning. There's a little wear spot on the pipe but I notices if you make sure to push it in till it hits the throttle biddy it self there's alot more room. I do have to say I am disappointed in Vortech service latley I have been trying to contact the guy that sold me my kit for about two months now.
