He sold it as he needs one with a built in trigger wheel because he will running megajolt as he said in his earlier post. The 998 and 1275 bottom pulleys are the same size.

It is the pully on the charger you change the size of according to what set you have.

hi, just read the whole of this thread, did anyone ever say what size top pulley was required to slow the charger down to work well with 998 engine, i am personally building a plus 20thou overbored 1098cc engine to supercharge, my compression ratio is below 8:1 without decompression plate, how or where do i found out how to calculate what boost the engine will be running????, and how do i alter or control the boost??? aldon are quoting for a distributor for me with custom advance, but i can't give them the info as to how much boost i will be running, as i don't have a clue how to calculate it!!!!

its its the same one as the 1275 in all the kits sold and they dont change the supercharger pully either
