Default SMOG PUMP STUFF READ

For the guys/girls wanting to take the smog pump off im just going to flat out tell you, leave it on there unless u are having problems with it. you gain almost nothing and spend 15+ on a new belt.

15 plus? I work at autozone, and we didnt stock a belt that would fit after the smog pump was removed. I ended up having to order in a goodyear gatorback that almost ran me 40 bucks. Originally meant for a 1.8 toyota engine.

hey man, i had the internals took out of mine, or gutted if you will. hell it spins just as easy as the delete kit pulley then. i mean, you can spin it with your fingers and its veery free. yall should try that. the guys at the shop did mine. its pretty cool. it works like a delete kit without having to buy anything new.
