Stupid Question time, What is this?

[David99GTP]

OK I thought my water pump lost a pulley but that now that I have most everything off it looks as though the pulley I lost doesnt go to my water pump. What does this pulley run? It would've been to the right of ther water pump pullet in the picture. It was on the nub in the picture.

It looks like the supercharger idler pulley. I lost mine 2 times.

OK I just went out and realized it has a female torx end on it. I took it off. Sweet, that was way too easy. Man do I feel stupid. LMAO

nope, that is the idler for the supercharger belt. when you buy a new one invest in the metal pulley that will not destroy itself over time.

Yup S/C tensioner for the 3rd time. I bought a plastic one last time. It came with a liftime warranty. So it was worth it.

I see autozone has the crappy duralast plastic. I'm gonna check NAPA tomorrow.

Now that I think about it all I need is a 3" pulley right? So is this a smooth pulley?? If so I can just buy a smooth 3" tensioner metal pulley.

My first replacement was a/c delco from the dealer and that one broke off. The second time I picked up a metal one form Pep Boys for around $14.

oh yeah..it is a smooth pulley.
