My car is a 2012 with 35K miles, the last 7K miles with a 15% OD lower. My AC compressor is starting to take a shit, it started to squeak a little when engaged a little bit ago and now it’s turning into more of a squeal and it’s going to be long until it lets loose.
Is this a common problem when running a OD lower? I know the 03-04’s like to fry alternators with a lower pulley, I fried two with a 4lbs lower on my 04.
I just ordered a whipple 2.9 for it so I’m going to be swapping out and retuning anyway so I’m thinking about swapping it back to a stock diameter lower if this is a common issue. I’m only going to run 18-20psi which should be plenty doable with just pulleying the blower and not worry about belt slip with a snub idler.
