squeeky belts after airpump removal
i got a new set of rb hedders (which i love) and i removed my airpump seing as how it was pumping air to nothing now after blocking off the acv like it said to do in the instructions. well now if i am ideling and step on the gas hard i have belts squeeking and im gessing its the alt belt seing as how the waterpump only has 1 belt on it now. so if i were to get one of silverroters duel pully alt kits would this fix my belt problem you think? i checked the tension on all the belts and they are all still good but it still is squeeking.

The dual belt pulley for the alternator will allow 2 belts to go around the crank, alternator and water pump. This is done to keep enough tension on the water pump pulley.
You don't still have the stock catalytic converter do you? The air pump on the S4 cars was used to push cool air into the cat to keep it from overheating.

Dont use belt dressing spray!! i did that before and it just makes the problem worse. Try getting new belts and the dual pulleys do help in tension. I had the squeky problem to and next thing i know there was no belt for my alternator and just belt shreds all over my engine bay. =\
