Get the stock pieces replaced, test everything. If it's still messed up, he will transport it back to the shop and take care of it. I know his rep took some serious damage, but I've yet to have support problems with him. He even said he would tKs it right now as is, but it doesn't make sense to do that until the stock pieces are replaced. I'm crossing my Fingers to get the stuff replaced under warranty, but definitely not holding my breath. It can beeasily proved the superchargers caused the stock tensioner pulley to have some play in it (enough to shred the belt), and make my alternator pulley squeal.

Good luck my friend. I hate trying to convince a dealership it wasnt due to aftermarket parts...

Hey Firehawk - the sucks - hope it all works out for you. When you say "get the stock pieces replaced" - do you mean take the SCs off and put it back to stock N/A?

I had one idler seize up soon after completing the build - but was able to fix it before it was anything more than a squeak.

I will definitely be interested to know, if you find out, what failed to cause the belt to shred, and why.

The alternator and stock tensioner pulley. The alternator pulley squeals and the tensioner pulley feels loose. The SC pulleys and belt on each side look fine. If it fails to perform after everything is checked tested, , then I'm ripping the $hit out and going turbo. I will have my power

If you go turbo you won't ever want a supercharger again especially on this platform.
