i have one. i dont really like it. problem i found is the timing belt gets tighter when the engines hot. so when its cold everything sounds fine but when its hot i can hear the timing belt making noise like its too tight. i think im gonna go back to the oem one. even though the last one i had failed and i was SOOOO lucky it didnt jump time. i guess if you finally get it adjusted perfect and checked your belt for excessive play like every month then you should be fine.

anyone know what the tensioners used on the early evo's and dsm's are like compared to the later model evo? I have a solid tensioner on my evo1, it was on the car when i bought it and i never really thought to question it.
