Which end is the problem? Filter to dongle or dongle to head unit?

For the filter to dongle side you can take the clamp off, put some small screws through the lip of the filter and into the plastic dongle. Put the clamp on top of the screws.

For the dongle to head unit--use some 60 grit sand paper to rough up the lip on the blower. Spray some hair spray on it too.

Well when I bought the car it had a "Procharger" belt on it but it was squealing so I called procharger and asked if I could run a different brand of belt. The guy I talk to said yes and gave me a Gates number of K060915. So the next time I was at work(Oreilly's) I picked one up put it on and it was fine for a month or so then started squealing again.So I called procharger back again today and asked if they've heard of this happening and the guy said yes and from what he has heard from previous people they r running a GOODYEAR BELT. Just wondering if that's true or where can a guy get a good years belt or figure out how to cross the gates to a Goodyear belt? I did some reading and everyone basically Auto Zone so I called them and they said they couldn't get Goodyear belts...

I order my Goodyear belts from Ebay. Last time I ordered, there was guy selling them for 1/3 the price of the Napa belt I had previously purchased. They seem quieter as well.

Couldn't tell you, but everything I can find on both part numbers makes me think they'll work

The 6 digit should be number of ribs. Not sure what the first two are for though.

There are still some old stock Goodyear Gatorback belts around, but they are replaced by the Continental Elite.
