do these pulleys underdrive the water pump, too. this could cause massive problems with the S65. Cannot find any information regarding this.

S65 has a very efficient cooling system. All S65 UDPs on the market underdrive the water pump, but are within safe levels both on and off the track.

Make sure you ALSO look at this post: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=626242

I had to call EAS twice, once to get the ft/lbs to tighten the bolts to (they said OEM recommends 18-22 ft/lbs) and the second time was because the picture in the video showed the belt configuration for 6MT not DCT. If you look closely the actual video they are doing it on a DCT but it had me a little stuck. Finding the above post helped!

Just completed this. It took me more than the 90 minutes, I always run into problems... It was also 45 degrees out. But the video helped tremendously so thank you very much for putting that together!!!

It was helpful to have a friend stop by and help me put the belts back on, that was the hardest part. Thanks again for the video!

Shout out to Tom at EAS

Installed my MS Under drive pulley Saturday. I had issues getting the waterpump/alternator serpentine on. Called EAS, on a Saturday afternoon (yeah, right, someone is gonna answer the phone) and low and behold they answered..and it was Tom. He confirmed for me that I had the right belt, pulleys, etc. Sent him some pics and he confirmed the routing.

I went back to the task at hand and discovered the tensioner much prefers to be pushed back using the box end 14mm (like Tom's video says) versus a socket and ratchet........the belt went on simple at that point.

Not a bad job - takes some wrenching skills and ability to find some of the bolts in the blind......but turned out perfect and I noticed a difference.........great upgrade for the money and great service from Tom at EAS!!!

Clean E92! Glad you were able to get the pulleys installed and back on the road.
