Kraftwerks is holding up great so far. I've been through three belts so far. The first belt was due to the instructions of the "21mm" (bottom of the bolt head to the adapter plate) rule to tighten the belt. That belt broke when I was on the track since that setting was WAY too loose. The second belt I broke from the pulley bearings failing causing the pulleys to wobble and then have irregular wear on the belt. (that was probably also due to the first incident since the belt was too loose to begin with). Then the third belt broke when the main supercharger pulley bolt snapped in half. My guess was with Chicago's drastic swing in temperature, literally can go from 20-50 then back to 20 in a few days, probably caused the belt to become over tightened when it was too cold. Therefore, putting too much stress on that bolt causing it to snap in half and shredding the belt. It may seem like a lot, but all it really is is figuring out the belt situation. Other than that it's been good to me, hopefully I don't have any more issues!

So after driving around all day, driving to work and back, and running errands... I hate to come to this conclusion, but I will have to take back the note that I would be selling my perrin exhaust. the Tomei 80r is so sick in everyway. But with my exhaust setup, it is totally NOT DD friendly... I was hoping the cat and the resonator in the JDL pipe would quiet it down... but it's like those parts are not even there.
TOMEI 80R now FOR SALE PM FOR DETAILS. Has been on the car literally for 3 days... less than 100 miles on it.

I would like to share what I had posted in the Kraftwerks Owner's thread here, since there's over a few hundred pages in that thread, this information may be hard to find.
For people who have this kit and are looking to do an oil cooler setup: Quote:

Velox Brake Ducts Pt 1.
Weather finally got nice and I added part of the Velox Brake Ducts, as I didn't have enough time to finish everything:
I will admit, the foam pieces that came with the kit did not stick after cleaning the ABS. Lucky for me I had extra foam from a generic A/V case from Amazon and some electrical tape did the work. I kind of went overkill with the tape and extra foam... but better safe than sorry I suppose:

Velox Brake Ducts Pt 2.
I installed the front section of the brake ducts to my bumper. All that's needed are pretty much the hose routing. I saw two different threads where people were using liquid nails or hot glue to glue the mesh guard on in the hole for the ducts. Totally unnecessary. The Velox brake duct has a fog light bracket that holds a plastic cup in place to route the hose in a certain way. Once that cup and fog light bracket is installed, you can take the fog light bumper trim piece and sandwich the mesh guard in the middle and it'll be so tight it will stay on.
also PLEASE TAKE NOTE, this WILL NOT fit windshield washer fluid reservoir stock or kraftwerks. PTuning is probably the only one that will fit. I'll be ordering one later some time. In the following picture you can see the kraftwerks bottle touching the end of the plastic cup that would route the hose right into the washer fluid reservoir:

Velox Brake Ducts Pt 3.
Finally finished the install to the Velox Brake Ducts.
PSA to people who run Ground Control. The struts are longer and are in the way of routing the hose the way the instructions state to do so. I managed to go around. It would probably be safe to say that I would need to use a longer hose, but I'll leave it up to some track time to see how it holds up. Instructions stated to use gaffers tape, I ended up using Gorilla Duct Tape.

Velox Hood Louvers install
First up, drilled the holes for mounting and cutting:
I skipped the section to punch the hood. I preferred to just drill a small pilot hole and work your way up. Key pointers below: Note for drilling, DO NOT press onto the drill. Let the drill do it's work and put a small amount of force to push through. Don't hulk the drill through since you will dent your hood. Vacuum the metal shavings Tape BOTH sides to protect the paint from chipping before cutting Probably the step that I see a lot of people skip. Paint to protect from rust. don't over tighten the screws on the pegs. You want to tighten hand tight and quarter turn. This is plenty tight. Install these suckers in:

I like these but I'm concerned about water. I heard of one guy here that has a vented hood shorting something during a wash. Does the manufacturer say anything about that?
