type of belt and deflection

[rcaustin]

Just wondering what type of belt is best to use in a turbo application (08 m8 RG turbo)? and how much deflection should there be on the belt between primary and secondary?

Thanks,
Ryan

Belt

You can use 046 or 060. The 046 is cheaper and works just fine.

The belt deflection for a stock machine is 1 1/8 to 1 1/4 inches

Hope this helps Jeff

I have wayyyyy more belt deflection than 1.25 inches... I have more like 2.5 inches of belt deflection.... and i can grab the belt and spin in it fairly easily when the machine isn't running... but the sheeves on the secondary are completely closed. Any thoughts? worn belt really bad? I don't remember how many miles are on this belt... I know i blet a belt once... can't remember when tho.
