yes the psk178 belt will not fit the stock crank pulley
torque on the crank bolt is 150 ft pound, you do not need to go an additional 90deg
No problem at all Rob. I was kicking myself for my lack of reading comprehension. If I ever get head scratching stuck on an instal I'll call. This didn't come close to qualifying. My only concern is the inside pulley on the PSK. The dowel doesn't fit into the bearing and where it fits in on the other side seems too loose. But it's on. The belt lines up, no noise or wobbling. I ran the car to redline on the way home and arrived. I'll revise the pictures of how things go on one more time but I'm confident I did it correctly.
I have a buddy with a E55 and he had 2 pulleys come off so I insisted on the 150 plus 90º. The tech that helped me with the torquing thought it was crazy tight but it sure wont come loose! Now to find out how the boost and HP compare to the Code3.
