afaik it is just installation issue. I am not putting blame on anyones install skill level. Its just that the tolerances are just very tight and its not something most are checking. I started my engine and blipped the throttle etc to make sure clearance was acceptable during my install. 6,000 miles and no damage on the belt yet. A slightly smaller pulley would have given more clearance.

So the easy solution?! MOAR BOOST! :P
