Default Re: Eurocharged 65mm Pulley Issues Resolved

Are you gentlemen saying that the aluminum one is not trouble free compared to the steel design? I thought that the EC aluminum pulley was the second generation, newest and best. That the first question.

I already have the Eurocharged tune for stock hardware and love it, but when i purchased the tune, they told me that subsequent updates would be $35 each. I had asked before since i always intended to upgrade the pulley. I also have a NA Roadster that is Eurocharged tuned and was told that it came with a lifetime retune at the time of purchase. When it came time to retune after my larger throttle body upgrade (highly recommended for NAs) they wanted another $35 at the time.
Now after speaking with someone at their office they want another $150 to update the tune for the 65mm pulley. Not cool. I have businesses and always honor what i tell my customers.
Now for this question, does the CPU adapt automatically to the smaller pulley or can it be ran without a retune?

Thanks in advance if anyone can respond to this.
You can run that pulley if you like but it will eventually fail. They all fail. Mine came apart at the snout and it was a "steel" version. This happened 8 months after I put it on my car. I dd my car so I guess it wasn't up to the task.




No you the ecu will not be able to adjust for the pulley change, you could get away doing a dcai upgrade without a tune but the extra boost from a smaller pulley needs to be tuned into the ecu. I have the eurocharged tune and have been running it for 3 years now with no issues. They can tune a car better than they can design a pulley.
