I'll be sourcing a stock pulley. If anyone can help me finding an OE pulley for the Rotrex blower, that'd be great. Also, thoughts on why the silicone hose slips off? The clamps were properly torqued down (wasn't over torqued so it wasn't damaged).
I am running on the CARB tune.
Just wanted to pick people's brains about this slipping issue. Car goes back to the shop on Tuesday to get looked at.
Thanks!

I put the clamp down closer to where the metal nub/tab is on the throttle body. Doesn't move after that. If you put it closer to the back (towards firewall) then yes, I've seen it slip forward. (towards Rotrex unit)
