What size pulley?
I have done all the maintenance and added 180 thermostat, headers, and FWI. Engine must be breathing better. Boost gauge shows 6.5 at WOT. Which size pulley would be best for a daily driver? I plan on a tune with the pulley change. TIA. 2002 SSEi, BTW.

Re: What size pulley?
You should be able to swing a 3.4 after the tune. You can put it on before the tune but I wouldn't beat on it till it's tuned. I assume you have something like an Aeroforce to scan for knock with correct?

Aeroforce is ordered. What kind of boost will the 3.4 generate?

Re: What size pulley?
You should be able to safely run a 3.4 pulley and looking at around 11-12psi. It would be best to have the aeroforce gauge or a scanner that will read KR and check that before putting a smaller pulley on. If for some reason you already have KR issues a smaller pulley is only going to make it worse.
