Quick question for a little reassurance. My tensioner pulley seized and threw my belt for the supercharger.....its basically just an UIM right? I should be ok driving without it?
 


Make sure you let the supercharger spin freely or it won't just be gutless it will have problems getting up to 55mph.
 
Yeah its def a lot slower. I've noticed lol and its free I removed all the pieces of the belt. Anyone know if the tensioner pulley can be replaced or do I have to get the whole assembly?
 
pulley can be changed. i just did mine a few weeks ago. it was chirping when cold for months, i finally thought,,hmmmmm i should change that before it takes the belt out. after the belt was off the pulley barely spun. new was like 20 bucks for a dayco at advance auto.

mine was normal threads too for the pulley bolt.

I don't really care for the Dayco pulleys, all the ones I have purchased started chirping after a few months of use.
