So if your pulley determines how much boost you will make, how can you be sure you won't over boost? Or is it just a matter of upgrading engine internals so that whatever you do boost, you'll be safe?

Just ordered ZZP's 3" intake as well as a brand new LSJ throttle body and 8 pin to 8 pin adaptor. Hopefully they will be here by the weekend so I can install and have some fun!

You can also use a standard 3 jaw puller and an impact wrench if you have access to them. That's what I used. What did you use in the intake manifold as far as hardware? I'm talking about the 2 middle holes that go far through the manifold and into the block. Do you recall the size?

Not sure on size, pk91 (Pat). Picked up the hardware at a store called fastenall or something similar.

So a regular gear or hub puller will take a stock pulley off? I don't need some special tool that ZZP sells?

I'm probably going to fab a bit of the support that the I take tube snakes around. I may just cut some off of it so that it fits happy underneath it.

Reviews say that it's not too bad of a fit, but rubs against the ECU.

Correct. If you have one that will work just fine. That's how I took mine off.

I never asked this, but what are an SCd LE5's limitations on injectors, and a pulley with an M62? Without doing internals work.

If you have 42s and want to go for a smaller pulley I'd get bigger injectors first.

I think Beck is running e85, 2.8 on 80s. He's probably north of 280whp. There are turbo LE5s running around with 330-350whp, stock internals. It really depends on how hard you're driving it too.

twin charging would be more harmful then helpful on a 4 cylinder, unless you used two really really tiny turbos lol

Is that even possible? Twincharging is supercharged and turbo'd...
