Seriously, you have to be kidding to get mad over this. They just can't win with some customers...do something about it, bad, dont do something about it, bad.

Wait what?
So because your kit is 'perfect'...How does a new pulley and a more conservative tune help with the purchase of a kit that was supposed to make XXX numbers? I mean the whole stupid battle back and forth between them and GTM was fun and all, but I think what people want to know now is, what are the new numbers and how do they compare...
I know this is the INTERWEBZ and all, but is it true 2 kits have failed and since then a letter has been sent out?
Dear STILLEN Supercharger Customer:
Over the past month we have shipped out many superchargers and have received great feedback from our customers on everything from the kit itself, the ease of installation, the quality of the components and the driving experience. However, we have also found there are variations in boost with some cars experiencing pressures higher than we are comfortable with.
As the reliability and longevity of our customers’ vehicles are our utmost concern, we are contacting all those that have been shipped the supercharger kit. We will be supplying a conservative interim tune to replace the existing tune. We are asking that the vehicles not be driven until the new tune is installed. We have released the interim tunes and ask that you install the new tune in your vehicle immediately.
Within the next 7 to 10 days we will be releasing a revised tune if necessary depending on your vehicles configuration to ensure that all vehicles will be running at top performance within our design specifications.
Please call our office Friday morning any time after 8am (PST) at 1-866-250-5542 with any questions on the process of updating the tune in your vehicle, which should be done before the vehicle is driven. Instructions for updating can also be downloaded here: http://www.stillen.com/misc/OEM_Flash_Update.pdf
I'm glad they are reaching out and doing the right thing, but I cant stop thinking about the **** that was given to some GTM fan's, and then this happens...
