    I've tried several different numbers in the past and was never able go get in touch with anyone or get any response via email. Your best bet is to find a machinist who can look up the raw part numbers.

    I'll take that advice. Since running without the SC turning over the past couple days I've been disappointed by the noticeable decrease in performance. I've been so accustomed to the SC that I'm now feeling more desperate than ever to find the parts to keep it in tact rather than retrofitting back to the OEM set-up.

    Scott, if you are currently running with the SC installed, but not turning over, there would be quite a large drop in performance.
    All the intake air has to find its way through the stationary SC.

    Going back to OEM setup will still be a drop in performance, but nowhere near as much as the stationary SC.

    Well that explains it. Today I'll focus my search on finding an Eaton M62 blower pulley and see whether that does the trick. Hate to retire this blower.

    Hello,

    I need to replace my 5 lb SC pulley on an Alpine (Eaton M62) version. How
    can obtain one?

    Update

    I've been chatting with John at Alpine in South Africa. Alpine is going to manufacture a 53 mm SC pulley capable of increasing the boost to 6 lbs. That along with a bearing for the tensioner pulley should get me back in business. Getting this done has been quite a project and I'm grateful to Alpine for responding to my requests and I will be even more grateful when these parts get here.
