hi guys, any of you have this problem ever, whenever I hit high boost in my

Any help will be appreciate.

Are you sure the belt is tensioned properly? Is it OEM? Never heard anything about power steering belts popping off but then again most people seem to ditch it when they do turbo builds.

no it's not a OEM belt, always a autopart belt within the spec. But always gates or goodyear. I try let the belt loose or super thigh, the same thing.

Pulleys straight? Not really much more that it could be.

ditch the P/S imo, but i'd say make sure the belt is on TIGHT between the pulleys via that wing nut .

serious grumble I see a little wave in the pulley. Maybe is my sight but my fellows partners in the shop say's it's all right.

how do I find a new p/s pump without know what is?

Maybe I can send you phone photo if you can help me ?

I'm only guessing guy. I have an entry level boosted system. If this is indeed a problem with higher horsepower cars then I'm not qualified to speak on it.

Try switching pulleys. The old one might be out of round or bent just enough that it snaps the belt.

btw hp/tq/psi/turbo size have nothing to do with your ps belt or pump having a issue, something is offline (crooked) meaning one of the pulleys are not in check with the others which is why it spits the belt off at higher rpms. this is rpm related not "high boost belt problem"
