New parts from Shardul
Gotta fun night ahead installing new parts from Shardul! After installing a MKB 180mm Crank Pulley a couple of weeks ago I have been keeping myself busy with a few cosmetic mods and new Arnotts rear shocks and bushes while waiting for these remaining parts...

Besides looking good? Yeah it's a bit of preventative maintenance - avoids any possibility the plastic pulleys might shatter/explode under pressure and the higher I climb up the boost scale the more pressure I put on em. I'm just prepping for the return of my 84mm SC Pulley Also I would think the the reliability of plastic lessens as it ages and becomes more brittle? So I guess the benefits include longevity, reliability and aesthetics!

Very jealous of those nice shiny bits. I was looking for the exact same kit myself, but finances said bugger off. Looks great! Nothing better than installing upgraded bits yourself at night.

Looking good, The The Rapist.
Changing those pulleys is a smart thing to do. I had my plastic one do exactly what you described. It exploded and took out both belts with it.

Hey Trebek, I have a riddle for yah....."What's the difference between you and a mallard with a cold?
One is a sick duck and I can't remember how it ends, but your mother is a *****"

The thought is it's not needed, best case scenario it just warms the IATs closer to ambient while the KC alone gets them much cooler than ambient leaving the HE on becomes a "warmer" source of cooling. It's smart to leave it on if you live in cold climates since you won't want to run your KC in near freezing ambient temps. But I live in the SF Bay Area never cold enough to need it.
