Skip the crank case pully, unless you are looking for an extra savings of 0.01 sec.

Samco hoses look nice, but similarly are more cosmetic than anything else.
I would pass on both also.

BTW, i would just get a decent ebay intercooler kit with prebent pipes ($400) and if/when you go BT, you can just swap the ic if needed.

making your own kit is easy but the problem is that you dont want to many connections. the fewer the better. Soa kit from a dealer or ebay (w/ prebent pipes) will flow better and work better than one that has 10+ connections which are also greater chances to blow off.

i bought this one off ebay, it fits pretty good and works fine, the only thing is you gotta cut the reinforcement a little, and the l shaped bracket need a twist on them to line up with the radiator mount bolts. Pretty easy fix with a pair of pliers.Good product for the money, i paid $290, ill post pics of finished product soon.

so what would a good mod be instead of the hosing and crank pulley? anything besides just saving for the BT?
