If you switch to a smaller than stock SC pulley you won't have enough adjustment with the stock idler so you need to go to a 64mm idler pulley to take up the slack (Gates #36225).

Hey, I'm sorry to bring this back and for missing this info earlier, but if I drop down to the smaller 9lb serp-side pulley, do I need get a larger idler pulley than the one that came with your kit? I'm having boost issues and everything trends correctly until top end, where I think I'm getting belt slip, but I can't hear it. I had no belt slip and expected boost with the 8lb pulley, but I'm now losing boost top end after switching to the 9lb pulley. I didn't change anything else other than replacing the serp-side pulley with the smaller one. Is this where I messed up? Thanks!
