so i just went out for a ride to do some datalogging, which i only got one of the graphs saved and not the one when this happened.

but i was driving down the road and did a 3rd and 4th gear pull to watch the fuel pressure and boost gauge because when i went out last night it felt like i was having belt slip or something of the sort, and when i got off the highway i heard a clanking noise. luckily i live like 2 minutes from the highway and i got the car home and popped the hood and the belt tensioner was going nuts and i turned it off and saw the crank pulley snapped at the 3 "spokes"

anyone know why this might have happened? that also makes it interesting to try to remove it. im thinking i might try to get it off with a 3 jaw puller, what do you think? the pulley was still there and the belt was still on all the pulleys right.

also, since u reading this, does anyone have a spare one to get me buy until i can afford an aftermarket one? im going to hawaii next month(was an xmas gift) and i can barely afford to go anymore because of this car and if i buy that pulley i def wont be able to afford anything but sit on the beach when im there lol.
