Don't think this works on a 9-3

Dean,
If I recall correctly, the NG900 has a pulley on the tensioner, then TWO idler pulleys, one close to the alternator, and one closer to the power steering pump. I believe that your mod eliminates the idler by the power steering pump (which is a good thing).
The 9-3 design does not include the idler by the power steering pump, but still retains the idler by the alternator and of course the tensioner. So I think that the 9-3 set up is basically what you have after you do the mod to the NG900.
If I've missed something please let me know.
Also, I posted recently that my dealer says that the 9-3 pulleys and tensioners are trouble free, but admits that the NG900 set up is a disaster. He punched up the sales figures for NG900 idlers on his computer, then the 9-3 idler pulleys. Can't remember the number for NG900 pulleys, but it was very high. None sold to date for the 9-3.
Thanks,
-Steve
