IMHO, if you ditch your airpump and really beat on the car you should have one of these, I would consider a must have if you track the thing.
Thanks to the both of you! I am SO thankful for this forum...all of you guys are really great and generous to help. I try to return the favor whenever I can.

Until I read this thread I was totally unaware there was an air pump idler pulley available. I asked last fall when I was doing the single turbo swap and the pulleys you see in my pic was all that was recommended to me, yet at the time I questioned if the contact patch on the water pump pulley would be sufficient enough. I know what I will be buying.

Somethings very wrong, even with a stock intercooler I'd have to really beat on my car continuously and then just sit and let it heatsoak to ever reach 70 or higher. Get a new intercooler ASAP, my FMIC keeps my temps at 25-41 in the summer depending on the temperature outside and traffic situation.

Just yesterday i got my 92 FD back form the mechainc after having the rear suspension serviced and bushes replaced, i noticed it was running a little high like in the 90's which it usually never does not even in the heat (custom radiator huge) usually alwasy chills on 83C.

So i pulled over to the side of the road and hello turbo timer lol just got hotter. But i noticed (in lamen terms) the plastic slightly reinforced pipe from the point you put in the coolant in to the water pump had heated up and crimped. I later found out they had moved my exhaust slightly moving the single turbo exhaust chamber closer to the pipe = failing. Was stuck in mangere gas statation (compton :P). And got a rope tow home hehe.
