Was this made for a shop or is it a one-off piece for an individual?

What happens when you have to get a new belt and then the bracket doesnt work because the belt adjustment is different?

Your welding is getting better and better and better. So is the support bracket part of the final setup or just temporary support>.

Not on this one, it shipped out of state to the customer. I promise we are going to be done soon with 09 Factor's car soon, there will be a dyno for that one...
We also might be having a 8 being shipped in for a complete installation including dyno tuning too. Its only a matter of time, we have just had a swamped with work for the past 6 months or so..

It is nice, and a nice penny too! I love to see the different changes on each setup.

Realize this is a bit backwards from how its typically done, but "This is what i've done" is better than "this is what I plan on doing."


Thanks Elliot and people @ Turblown Engineering, always answered my rediculous questions at all hours of the night/day.

Jeff @ mazdamaniac...I initially thought you were an ***...but you are damn good. Thanks for the tune and providing the accessport.

Go big or go home.

I should also note (before Elliot hurts me) that this was achieved at about 60% throttle, with a shot fuel regulator...clearly expecting better results at full throttle with a fully functioning regulator.
