I've got a Pineapple Racing idler pulley kit that bypasses the air pump. it's brand new, complete with brackets, bolts, pulley and belt. It's in the blister pack it was shipped in. To be honest, I forgot what I paid for it, and can't locate the invoice. I'm open to offers on it. It's really great quality.

Yep. My car only has the greddy kit w/ an unorthodox racing main pulley. No air pump, no ps and no ac. Well, I'm tired of having no ps so its going back on the car. One belt for the alternator/water pump and one for the ps.
As for no air pump, when I took it to my mechanic for state inspection, he asked if I had an air pump....... I said sure and pointed to the single turbo I run

i.e. how you underdrive is basically:
1. Make the accessory pulley larger
2. Make the main pulley smaller
3. Combination of 1 & 2
The idea is the have the accessory make less turns per revolution of the main pulley. Whether there is an idler pulley on the line is independent of that as all that effects is the belt size.

Yeah, I pulled the AC and PS last year. Other then parking at car shows I dont miss the PS at all. Not to mention my cooling issues are over now that huge ac condensor is gone.
I looped the PS lines shut with the kit from Gotham . Just a quick fix untill I get a modified steering rack done the right way.
