As for the Milltek I like the sound and it has some of the best HP! That won't make you go hard of hearing.

They did it the smart way.
Now take that hammer and tap your empty head lightly.
You were commenting on the cost per $. What? are you now backing out of that argument? Now the MIlltek is OK even if the $/HP exceeds your previously stated OMG that's stupid expensive factor?
You're rude and ignorant. Please leave. <-- Pretend that's not a thumb

By the way JLM, I received one box of peanut butter cookies, but haven't seen the other box I ordered yet, or the chocolate mint either. If you intend to manufacture cookies, you better be able to meet supply & demand.

The JCW pulley isn't sold as a separate part, so the only ones that can be found have been pulled off of a shaft, usually without heating, for the previously mentioned reasons of not overheating the sealed SC front bearings and seals.
I'm sure in your work on aircraft engines you also learned to understand the system you're working on, use appropriate tools, and the proper methods.
Also, remember these cars aren't new, while it may be new to you. There are people here who have done what you want to do, and learned the hard way what works and what doesn't. You might want to think about that as you get advice that doesn't make much sense to you, and instead of doing the online equivalent of throwing a tantrum, find out why you're being pointed in a direction that doesn't make sense to you. It's a faster way to learn, and doesn't make nearly as many negative impressions.
FWIW...

And I'm not being sarcastic.
The supercharger pulley belt is the only belt that could be shredded from an incorrectly installed supercharger pulley.
That belt is also connected to the a/c compressor, alternator, lower harmonic balancer/pulley and a belt tensioner & idler pulley.
It shouldn't have anything to do with the timing of the valves.
Is the sudden loss of boost detremental to the engine valves?

jlm,
Sorry for the harsh words!
Your the one who started the smart comment! I'm not the smartest one out there, but I'm not completely stupid. I was just trying to get some help, and you are the one who came up with the smart comment! I only fired back. You are the one who supposedly did some of the 1st pulley installs. So, if you truly want to help, why don't you tell me why I can't reuse a JCW pulley? I was given a JCW pulley for free, and I was just trying to make use of it! As for the ECU's, I'm not touching the stock one or wires, or anything else.

BTW my original pulley is NOT in good condition. I used the smaller puller that is a flat circle with a half C shape to grab the pulley. It bent the livin schnit out of my original pulley, even with loosening several times and trying to rotate.{I used this style puller so I wouldn't have to remove the belt tensioner...lazy a$$ that I am} I don't have any experience with the 2 halfs style pulley like what jlm manufactures so I am not sure if could reuse a pulley removed with it, But I would be cautious using a used pulley.

Caminifan,
This thread started b/c I was looking for some help / info. I wanted to know if ECU / Remapping / Engine Management. tuning was advisable after I do a few reliable engine / performance mods. 1st. I installed a Dinan CAI. Would have preferred a JCW CAI ( I prefer the stock look.) And the Dinan was over a $100.00 less. 2nd. I am going with a Milltek cat back system. Not cheap but a GREAT system & deal for what you get! $664.05 delivered. 3rd. I was thinking about / wanting to install a removed / used JCW pulley. Super cheap and I have seen one installed on a non JCW car! I was getting some GREAT feedback and some not so great feedback on the ECU info. Then the feedback started to get off track about the pulley I was thinking of installing. I got a "smart" comment about the install of the JCW pulley. I was getting tired of it, so I fired back! I apologize for my return comment; it's not my style! Both comment's were uncalled for. I should have let it go. 99% of Mini owners would give the shirt off there back to help a fellow Mini owner. Looks like I upset a lot of Mini owners, for this I'm sorry! I just truly wanted someone who has done or tried to do what I was thinking of doing with the JCW pulley.
Thanks,
