Yes the color is different.
High traction is grey and normal one is black.

Ok great. What size high tension pulley would I get?

Also does this look like it done correctly? I have seen some images of the belt going over the top of the middle pulley rather then underneath so just wanted to confirm

I know someone else that tried the belt routing the way you have it. It slipped so bad it hardly made any boost. That's definitely your issue.

Good to know! I was somehow still Making 12lb at around 5200 rpm. Can't wait to get the Mofo on properly and see how the car goes. Once it gets back from getting wrapped I shall get it sorted! Thanks again mate.

How the hell did you get 12lbs of boost at 5400 RPM? Is your boost gauge accurate!
