Interesting, didn't know you stripped out those. We are working on a new tensioner design now anyway so that will be changed any way but thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Sounds good. Yeah probably not worth doing a lot with then if you're working on a new replacement.. Kasper has those adapters designed already so I dunno, up to you. I think it's a pretty cool little add on though, made belt changes easier for me for sure and I know 3 people that have stripped theirs

Thanks for input I appreciate it. Both shops suggested A&A kit but The ECS kit is around 700 cheaper and I kind of had my mind set on it already. I was concerned when I heard of belt issues from one of the shops but am glad to hear this seems to be a non issue. I plan on staying around 6 psi boost. Will I be ok with the bap or will I need to upgrade fuel system if I do not plan to go higher. I think 600 hp will be plenty for me.

Doesn't matter which kit and it doesn't matter how much more a shop is making in profit. If you think you'll ever want more than what an Si can provide, then let that factor into your choice. $700 blower upgrade is relatively cheap.
