OBX-R Precision power Underdrive Pulleu kit for EK ??
Has any one tried these on an EK
I bought a set some a while ago and just got to putting them on.
The power steering one fits like a glove, but the alternator pulley SUCKS!
The mounting hole is too small and the back of it is missing the lip that goes inside the alternator housing.
Am I the only one that's having this problem?
--P.S.--------------------------
I know I won’t get any noticeable gains.
I bought this before I knew better, but now that I have them I might as well install them.

Was my kit messed up (parts mixed), or did OBX **** up on fitment?
It’s not that big a deal because with audio system and what not I probably shouldn’t change the alternator pulley anyway, but I would still like to know what happened.

Why not?!?! you are for 1) Relieving some of the strain off your Drivetrain there-fore releasing some hp from engine to wheels
and 2) less weight!! not much...but none-the-less, less weight
OBX is still kind of "iffy" if ya ask me

Well, the reason I said I wouldn’t get much gains is because I don’t have much to start with.
But my question is, “Does any one else have this fitment problem?”

I basically answered your question but I suppose I need to be more specific, OBX is pretty notorious for shoddy workmanship, that's why I said the name OBX says it all. Because, it's from OBX, you should not be expecting exact fitment. Also, if you search for OBX threads, you'll find a good enough amount oof threads that OBX just isn't that good for parts. Hope that explains it, I would just call OBX for some sort of resolution. Good Luck
