I don't know the clearance differences between the HR and VHR, but I could not cut a notch big enough to clear. So I had to have a custom idler pulley made. It was 2.5" if I remember correctly. JTran did the whole thing, and may still have my entire cog setup. That will give someone a smaller idler to be able to run a 34T/30T cog combo without notching into the motor.
I am looking at the picture you sent me and my supercharger cog pully is much narrower than the one in your picture, I went and measured it and it was 35mm in width (not 50mm) and I doubt that the shop that did the install shaved anything of the engine to get it all to line up. I think I will have to go with the 50mm wider supercharger pulley (2A032-030) and build the brace to help with the flexing and hopefully that does it.

Also, look how shiny the lip on your idler pulley is on post #1. I can't tell if it has been shaved down, or if it's making contact somewhere. But, keep a close eye right there, the cog belt can try to walk over it under load. A fix would be a smaller pulley with the lip left intact.
