New guy here with TTS Supercharger questions

Not at all my friend.. completely different machined front cover and separate clutch cover.
Bud the confusion is probably what your calling the clutch cover and gasket compared to the NA original clutch cover like Jvheli is thinking. The oem clutch cover gasket goes around the whole engine case. The TTS hydraulic clutch conversion cover is the difference.

Yes Justin, it is a completely different cover, but it still bolts onto a standard engine, so a standard gasket will work just fine.

Correct.. the front cover is all good, the tts hydraulic clutch cover is what is missing from the kit.
 
Awesome, thanks!! That's what I was thinking. Check out this pulley.. even with supplied shims it's not going to work.
Ok from the pictures above it looks like the shims should be on the bottom so the pulley flange is off the blower cover. Enough not to rub. Did you get the spanner to rotate the eccentric part. The older ones the hole fit a metric allen. To adjust the eccentric cam for belt tensioning. Also a belt maufacturer told me two 3 rib belts would grip better then the single 6 rib.

Thanks, I was wondering if there was supposed to be a tool to turn the eccentric part and yes, I was assuming the shims went to the bottom, but there isn't near enough shims to keep the pulley itself off the cover curious if I was missing a washer or something.

Hmm I wonder if the bearing is seated all the way in the pulley ?
 
Would you happen to have a pic of the coil bracket and relocation ?

The instructions say to cut the tab off, but (my understanding of) this was the one I've marked with a red X below, turned out i needed that tab so welded it back on after, and powdercoated.

For the TTS covers you can get a length of o-ring locally;

Can someone provide a pic if their tensioner pulley or look and see if the one I posted looks correct ?

Looks like you've a more up-to-date pulley than mine, although it looks the same just with a flanged collar around it. How is that collar fitted? can you slide/press it outward so the inside part (that you bolt to the front cover) is slightly proud?

Didn't think there was space between the belt and the engine front cover for that flange but,,

If you didn't get a pin spanner or have a suitable one e.g. for angle grinder, you can put a jack underneath the tensioner too to turn it up
