As for which will last longer, I suppose thats debatable. Some claim that the added stress that a belt driven SC adds is harder on the engine than the swift kick in the crank of torque that the TT provides. I believe that although the SC adds some extra work for the engine, the linear power delivery is much less harsh on the internals and will last longer.
yea that's what i've been told. I'm waiting for the Stg 2 SC to be released.

Does the enginge NEED to be removed to install a SC. Trying to figure out if it's worth the 4-5k for labor.
