tossing belts like no tomorrow:(

well for some odd reason the car has decided it doesnt like blower belts lol. i know that something must be out of alignment but not sure what it would be. I had been riding around for like a couple months with no problems but i cracked on it for like a second then it just threw the belt. now i cant keep em on. like a brand new belt would be toast before i get down the road under normal acceleration. also when i put the belt on it seems to have a little less tension than it should. i dont know if i need to shim the blower bracket or what but this sucks. btw i have a ati p600 kit.
thanks

Dude look at the tensioner. My wifes car has a procharger on it and over time the vib in the tensioner caused it to ware abnormally. One day the belt went and would not stay on afterwards. I notice the tensioner look cocked. So I took it off and sure enough, it was worn. Bought a new one from ATI and all was fine.
