I think we found the problem with the belts. The manual tensioner pulley has a little play in it, I can wiggle it back and forth with a screw driver pretty easily, so we think the bearing in it is shot. I can drive the car all day with no problems if I drive like a grandma, but I think when I step on it it's causing the manual tensioner pulley to **** some which causes the belt to ride off of the supercharger pulley snapping it.

Anyone ever have this problem before?

Thanks,
Brett


*Edit* Awesome!! Just talked to Doug and Mike from ECS. They're shipping me a new head unit tensioner pulley at no charge. Thanks alot Doug and Mike!!
