Well, that was with a smaller engine. I am just saying that the belt can only handle so much power, and you are probably close to the limit right now. Maybe it will work, anyone running the small pulley? What boost are you seeing? Does it drop off after torque peak?

One final thought which is way more complex, turn both of those rigid idle pulley into tension pulleys. The kick is to make them get tighter while running. Soth both tensioners will rotate tot eh left to get the belt off. Anyways just bouncing idea around.
