Quick drive under boost??

[gmustangt]

Are the quick drive belts holding up under the added stress of boost?
how many miles have you got on your belt?

Of course they r. If u take care of belt it lasts. No different than a clutch belt.

Did you follow break in procedure? Or just romp on it from the get go...

Put the kit on brand new and just got on it and rode it, first 150km my boost controller was in backwards and the boost was up super high and my boost gauge would just flutter around 15lbs but now I got it all in there right lol, and my sled is only a 155 I got a buddy with an aero kit with a 2.5 ce track 155 also and he has blown 2 but one was installed backwards

I ran across one that pretty much melted the belt off.... It had a boon docker kit and we were taking some pretty long pulls... I personally think they need a heat shield between the exhaust and belt as they are only about 3/8 inch clearance!!!

That is a good point. Especialy with stock can. Could be reason some guys blow them too.

Got around 600 miles on mine, all is good, took it off and am now breaking in a new one.
The heat and spiking the brakes is not good for belt life, some turbo kits the down pipe is too close to the belt and getting too hot, and when riding spiking the brakes is hard on the cogs.

I even pop mine into reverse goin down hills and dig it in and haven't blown it yet, my exhaust is a long ways from the belt.
