Thanks for the support! I am definitely going to do something with the PCV on the passenger side. I am not interested in blowing out the rear cam cover. I'm just at a loss right now as to what I should do for the intake piping. Should I order pipes from eBay? Should I get PVC pipes from Lowe's and do PVC intercooler piping for now?
http://www.jblmk3.com/cars/pvc.php for an example of who's done it. Most of what I hear against using PVC for intercooler pipes centers around the HOT gases of a turbo. Well, a centri blower at 5-6psi won't produce much heat at all, I wouldn't think..
The belt wrap is as good as I can get it without fouling on the mounting bolts on the blower. The required grip on the huge 3.75 pulley is also much, much less than that on a 3" or 2.5" pulley, especially when pushing half as much boost. The belt alignment looks OK to my naked eye, but I will definitely be watching the belt wear like a hawk, and will get some cheap belts from the internet to keep as spares!
KC, are you going to stay with the V-9 or are you looking to upgrade to a bigger blower?
