Any issues on the cold side set with dusting, tracking, of belts? With no timing retard these numbers being reflected are...amazing..
Tom is a good salesman & marketer.. extremely available
but any customers with the CS have any problems?
I live in TX and can get my hands on 93 oct and still concerns running say 10 ps of boost in the summer with no retard.. any feedback would be appreciated
Thanks
Berkley

I think that any complaints about the coldside units will come from BRP early adopters. The kit has since been (dare I say it?) perfected. With the new autotensioner I have seen zero dusting over 3 different belt sizes as I changed pulleys. This thing really is as advertised. Customers quickly become fans. Anyone and everyone who has taken the time to actually drive my car has come away saying pretty much the same thing....." It's just so smooth!".

Pat is right. Most of the issues were experience by early adopters (me, and a few others). Mostly related to fueling and cooling of the intake air. The cooling is solved by the 5th injector (E-cool). The fueling is solved with the Pc-pro. Mechanically, the kit is sound, no belt tracking issue, no dust issue, nada. BTW, I didn't go with E-cool, just WI instead. Works well.
I do get a tiny bit of oil/dust around the nose pulley. But I think I got one of the blowers from a batch of bad blowers from Magnuson. Nothing specifically related to FFS. Keeping my finger cross that it'll be okay if I keep the oil fill every 6 months.
How far are you from Houston? I'm in Texas, and would not mind given you a first hand look at the coldside.

I too am having no belt problems once I got the proper size belt. Tom initially shipped me an NB belt for my NA which is about 1/2" longer, causing clearance issues at the tensioner. He promptly reimbursed me for a different size belt. No dusting or slipping.
I have not yet run it in hot weather, but the mild/cold weather performance is amazing.
