Default Re: turned down 178 pulley?

I don't follow the reasoning behind machining the CP down, as that would decrease boost.


EDIT - Okay, I see what you're saying now. Machine down the CP so that the 65 can be run and not overboost the engine. Sounds like a lot of work since the CP is a PITA to swap. I haven't heard of anyone doing this, Keep in mind, they'd be throwing money away by destroying their performance CP, but you never know.
