Decoder- My saturn alt squeaks the tiniest bit at idle; barely noticeable to the untrained ear thought. I think the squeal has to do with the saturn pulley having too tall of ribs so the belt doesnt actually ride inside the pulley ribs but rather on top of the ribs. If you look at the stock dsm pulley and the saturn pulley, youll notice that the saturn one is more pointed where the "V" ribs meet and the dsm one is more rounded where they meet.
So I think I think its safe to say that unless you somehow "round off" the top of the ribs, you might have to tighten the belt more or get a different style of belt.
