It would be useful if, in addition to the years and miles, you guys could list any problems/breakages you've had. Also, how much boost and which supercharger or turbo system you have installed. Most of that information is probably available in other threads, but it would be nice to have it all in one place.

Good idea. Going back to edit.

ps. Of interest: Belt has never been re-tightened after the initial recommended tightening 400 miles after installation. Still at proper tension. Boost has never changed. Belt still in good condition.

does the belt needs to be retighten after 400 miles of driving? i didn't know about that. maybe that's what causing my boost dropping after 7000 rpm.

Can't say for Comptech, but the Vortech manual states that the belt should be checked and re-tightened after the initial 250 to 400 miles. All new belts will stretch after an initial period of use.
