Post Where to get s/c pulleys

Ok, so i have a trd/vortech s/c right now with a trd pulley running only at 6 lbs. Ive been looking around for a new pulley but not to sure where and what kind i can get that would help me increase my boost to atleast 10lbs. from what ive known so far is only the NST pulley. any ideas or suggestions?

(would i have to upgrade anything in specific if i upgrade to a pulley with higher boost?)

I think NST is the only one making a custom pulley for the TRD S/C. I personally have the NST 9.5lb pulley on my S/C setup. I haven't had any problems so far since I have installed it. Just have to keep up with the maintainence of the S/C and you should be fine.

as far as i know NST is the only one still making smaller pulleys for the supercharger.
the NST 9.5 pulley is the smallest you can go without having to retune. I have the 9.5 pulley on my S/C now, runs great and the car seems to like it much better, my mileage even went up and i am definitely not driving it differently.
