Hey guys, going the TVS route and wondering if there is anyone here that is running a 3" upper with a Metco aux idler bracket. If so, what idler size, 100mm or 90mm?

I believe Rick is running a 90mm, but I believe he's using the VMP bracket setup which runs a little closer to pulley.

Reason why I ask is I'm running the 4# lower now and looks to be the best way to go for the TVS with a 3" upper.

100mm metco will work on a tvs with a 3.0" pulley. A billetflow 100mm idler setup won't.

Check the market, bdubbs is selling his metco bracket and idler - I believe he was running a 90mm. A 3" upper and 4lb lower is going to be too much boost for pump gas, you'll need to run e85 or Torco or race gas.

I'm sure Bdubbs will chime in soon, but im pretty sure he did have the Metco 100 and it cleared just fine.

Yup mine fits just fine with a 3" upper and 100mm pulley. I'm actually selling mine right now. Pm me if interested.

The only bracket that will NOT work is the newer design from billetflow. All others should work fine with a 3.0 upper. I personally have a 3.3 upper with a steeda bracket and 100mm pulley which has tons of room

Thank you very much, exactly what I needed to know!

Sweet, don't need it right now tho bdubbs. Thank you for the offer. I sold my single bearing kit and will upgrade to dual bearings when I get the TVS.

100 mm with a 3.0" here.....zero issues
Thank you!
