Go Fast Bits Water Pump Pulley Cracked

I had installed the Lightweight Pulley Set from Go Fast Bits, GFB, over a year back. Never taken my car to track nor any kind of racing.

A few days back, the Water Pump Pulley snapped off from the center leaving behind the bolted part still attached to the engine. Checked the Crank Pulley for damage, none found. The Belt is fine as well.

Replaced with stock water pump pulley now. After this happened, a friend of mine showed me that the same issue with the Raceseng Water Pump Pulleys as well.

Anyone else have had this issue with GFB pulley? Please share.

Here is a pic of the snapped Pulley

It appears to have failed in the same manner as ours. Contact GFB directly about the issue.
