deleting the airpump

so what do i need to delete the airpump? i would guess i need a smaller belt and some new pulleys?? if so which set of pulleys do you guys recommend? i know there are very expensive setups outthere but these are a complete set...is there one that just allows for airpump deletion?

how hard is it to do this myself. i wouldnt call myself extremely mechanically inclined but i am able to do simple stuff like install shocks and did all my mods myself.

does anyone have a good link to a how to?

tks.

For the twins I used the one a forum member made and offered in a group buy. I recently purchased the pineapple racing one due to the fact that I'm going single, cause it appears to offer more contact than the other single turbo version. There are a few other options but the idler pulley is the best. If you have twins and think you may go single in the future keep that in mind when modding the car, things like this could be done once.
