That's a good idea.. I definately will .. They are sending me a new blower .. Oil and filter and banjos all for free .. Not overnighted .. And I'm not paying any more money .. Besides I just got new civic si for a daily since the s has been off the road so much this year .. I'm goin to give this kit one more shot .. I will do one track day end of august and see how it holds up.. If I have issues most likely I'll just sell the kit and stay na or go sos .. But I pray this thing works so I can just enjoy my car again

Only Rotrex, as far as I'm aware. It's due to the friction drive they use, which allows much higher rpm, but has limitations like this.

I think it's only rotrex but don't quote me on that one. Don't give up man, I like my rotrex a lot. Hopefully the Kraftwerks kit will work fine but if not, I would look into just getting the TTS plate and fabbing up your own intercooler piping. I have had no issues with their system so far

I'm pretty sure the Paxton units are the same. I remember reading it somewhere, could be wrong though

Oem radiator? I have a stock cooling system with the original coolant, and don't have that issue driving in traffic with the ac. You may want to bleed the system as you mentioned. I haven't seen any other kw installs with that issue either.

Glad to hear it's running again!
