I though someone was planning to overspin it, but not sure if that happened due to warranty.

Personally I think it's more than enough unless you only plan to drive in a straight line for quarter of a mile, want bragging rights or to make flames in McDonalds

I got the smaller pulley fitted and then sorted out the belt slip. I haven't driven the car really over winter and its currently part way through fitting some softer springs to make it more road friendly. Over spinning the blower doesn't really bother me too much as another HKS charger has failed and been on facebook so they seem like ticking time bombs!

I think if mine went bang i would just put the car back to NA and sell it. Unless Si could do a good deal on a replacement charger and that alterations had been made to prevent failures. HKS seem quite secretive about the failures

Really, thats a shame as id have thought most people would be going for HKS as they'd see them as more reliable due to being a bigger company.

Yeah that is frustrating. Do you have a thread link?

Mark, when did you see the most recent one? I'm not aware of any in recent weeks / months. Know there were 1 or 2 last year.
Guess its not easy to pin point the reason for failure. What else was done to the car, did it run the HKS BOV (Not correctly sized in my opinion) etc....
Wonder if there has been any feedback from HKS to Si about the ones that have gone pop. (Worth remembering that even the TTS ones goes POP and many clips and threads about that as well).

I have fitted the the V1 17" rears to the front of mine and with 15mm spacers and they will fit the same brake kit that Josh has. I know that isn't much help (as your kit is different), but just saying that the rear wheels have a bit more clearance than the fronts do, so may be worth trying using your existing rears and some washers to simulate a 15mm spacer? That way, if they fit, all you have to buy is two standard rear wheels, not four (and have them machined for the larger centre bore). Mine is also lowered on Ohlins and I have no clearance issues .
