iphone your crank pulley will solve your issues, the s/c intake will need to be adjusted to ensure correct fitment.... lower engine mounts will not work for us, we'll lower the i/c piping to the point where we wont be able to fit under trays back on......................

OK, great to confirm that much at least. Checking out the video frame-by-frame, I don't see the belt "jumping off" persay, but it definitely whips with some resonation as it starts up. The belt should probably be replaced, as sure enough I found some tiny rubber shavings sprinkled on the S/C (loose black specs on bright silver makes them easy to see there).
At a minimum, I'm going to have to drive the car to San Diego to get it to the shop that Roman is sending me to sometime this week. It's going to be a real hassle getting a ride home and then back again to pick up the car, and be without it for at least 1, maybe 2+ days...but I am extremely thankful that Roman has, from the beginning, rushed towards fixing up the install.
The main thing I'm wondering at this point is if there is any way I can increase the belt tension temporarily (I'm not sure where the tensioner pulley is or how hard it is to access without having the undercover off), if only for the ~45 minute drive to San Diego.
