Eeek, well that's going to definttely tip them off to it being modded. See this is where you can run into trouble because they will say well that is not an OEM part or equivalent and broke. This in turn broke the water pump. We are not responsible. I'm not sure how I would approach them with "hey I got this other pulley I would like you to install".

If i was given all the original parts i could have swapped them out for situations like this. However there is no factory parts that were given with the car nor do they have them.

They did say it may take time to get the pulley.. maybe if I can get a proper replacement right away I can bring it to them and just say "hey I was able to get one quicker, just use this one" and give them the ASP unit instead.
