    Under the Hood Video

    So I have been chasing some issues with belt alignment, belt slip, and low boost overall. A buddy recommended I strap a GoPro under the hood to make sure my BOV was closing and to make sure the belt issues are taken care of with my last round of fixes. So I did! It's still only making 1/2 of the boost it should, but the belt issues look to be taken care of so now I can work on different pulley sizes. Anyway I thought the video was pretty cool.

    Oh, and "car show Mustang" has no ill meaning towards this group! It's the goobers with the new ones that seem to crash every other week when leaving a show

    Thats Awesome!   I was having some chirping going on with my belt which was annoying since the belt wasn't that old. I thought I might have waterpump or powersteering problem.  I sprayed some water on the pulley while running and noise went away right away and came back after 10 seconds.  So I believe the belt is the issue. Im going to see if I can find a Gatorback belt.

    Cool video!
    Just a note about V-Belts ... my original belts were 3/8' wide, the mm equivalent sold today is slightly smaller.  I had belt slippage and thought the maybe the bottom of the “V” was bottoming out on the pulley.  So, I got the equivalent length belt in a ½” belt size, that is actually a slightly smaller mm size, and I haven’t had belt slippage issues since.  Just saying.
