Finally got my pulley and tune on my XFR
Hello all,
I'm new to all this Jag stuff and each new step is an adventure. I have learned much from this forum and look forward to what is around the next corner. Having said that I just want to share MY experience with you all. I purchased my crank pulley and tune from Mike at EUROTOYS in Elgin Illinois for my 2010 XFR. This is three hours each way for me. I purchased the kit expecting my local foreign car guy to set it up and go. For whatever reason they seemed challenged so after talking to Mike, I took the journey. Three hours later I had my car done which included a accessory pulley bearing issue that my shop didn't discover 500 miles ago when they changed the oil. Mike found a bearing and saved me having to take it apart again or worse yet failure. Mike has been a phone call away for any questions I had which most seemed simple to him but complicated for my limited Jag and supercharged knowledge. I love my car now, it hauls...… no dyno sheets as there isn't one close by. He gave me a loaner car so I could tour St Charles while he did the work. I HIGHLY RECOMEND MIKE AND HIS SHOP BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND HOW I WAS TREATED BY HIM.
I don't desire to debate with anyone that may feel different just thought Mike deserved my appreciation for his quality work

Due to a mix up it turned out to be the wrong pulley (two different shapes for the F-Type V6 and as my car is an Oz import with an Oz VIN they couldn't really check which one was correct for me), Mike quickly realised the mistake and swapped pulleys with me for no postage charge either direction.
The new pulley fitted perfectly and has been totally reliable.
I really like my car now, next a quick silver axel back have all the resonators removed and a x pipe
I just really walked away (drove away) happy with the experience, nowadays most venders don't take a lot of pride in much past getting ur money

Yep, I also had great service from Mike when I bought a Eurotoys crank pulley some 18 months ago.

Mike do you have any numbers (WHP and TQ) on what we can expect with the crank pulley and tune? The supercharger pulley and tune combo from all the dyno sheets I have seen produce ~ 60-70 whp and ~70-80 wtq. Would the crank pulley/tune net near 100 whp/wtq?
I have yet to get mine to a dyno, will one day. I can tell you this, the guy in town that works on my car locally has worked on and test drove pretty much every 100k euro car out there and after I took it to him after my tune to get colder plugs and mounts changed (I picked it up he handed me the keys and said that car is damn fast, likely north of 600hp) I had the front end aligned by my go to alignment guy at GM afterward I told him to put it in dynamic mode and let me know what he thought (that car is frickn fast) and he has driven all the fast ctsvs, z06, zl1s. Not saying what it can beat or not but that's two independent inputs and its feels more than 50 hp faster. One day i'll know for sure till then i'll keep beating the **** out of camaros and mustangs!
