Solid isolator

I have 42k miles and have no noise on original supercharger, I am getting ready to do mods and want to change out the isolator.

What one should I get?

I see a few different ones on the market.

Thanks

Metco have been a good one and used by several of the top performance shops around.

There is a very good possibility that it might not be making any noise but the spring is still etching into the shaft. This is what I've been told by many shops. I changed both of mines at less than 150 miles.

Definitely change it out! My car had only 9000kms on it when I had it replaced and the spring had worn the shaft quite a bit already!

I am definitely going to change it out but was more interested in what one to get.

I see the metco and lingenfelter are most popular but read some problems with having to bore out the pin holes because of tight fitment issues.

Yes, definitely change it and either one of those is good.

I had Lingenfelter. They also sell great pulleys while you are at it.

I had a Metco lower with interchangeable rings so I could put a big one on for the drag strip and then a smaller one for road track days to keep the heat in check.
