Great looking install. If you're interested in quieting down the whine a bit, ask Kraftwerks to provide you with the toothed idler pulleys. They make the whine nearly silent at idle. Also, what kind of bypass valve did you say you were using? I have the original Bosch bypass/blowoff unit on my car now after trying out the Skunk2 one that KW provided. Didn't like the way the flutter sounded with the Skunk2 one. I wouldn't mind if I got one that was a bit louder.

Good tip. Thanks! I quite like the noise, but we'll see it attracts too much police attention.

As for the valve, I'm running a Turbosmart Kompact 25mm Bypass Valve.

I tried a dual port Kompact 25mm to get a bit of "pssssshhhhhttt", but regardless of how the spring was adjusted, throttle response sufered, and it was venting whenever engine braking (which makes sense with a SC setup as boost is relative to RPM directly rather than engine load.
