WHen you get the kit the instructions to install is very detailed. THe magazined gets you to do unnecessary work. you do not have to take of the throttle body or un bolt the fuel rail.... I have the article just as a collector. I had a good laugh with how difficult they made it to be. I did the install myself by the way so I know.

cant find it
You know, I can't find that 8x1.25 pitch threaded rod pulley installer in shows in the directions. I am installing my stage II now and having in issue. Where can I get that tool shown in step 12? Also, I do not have a pulley press in step 11. Anything I can do about this? Everyone talks about a pulley puller, I can rent that from Auto Zone. Buy it, take it back and get a full refund. Anyone...help please.

is it really required to pull the blower??? can you not just use the puller with the sc still mounted? or do you need to remove it to get at the injectors anyway? i dont feel comfortable haveing the dealer do this. i called for prices and they were like wtf is a stage ii kit????

I did mine myself.
No you dont have to pull the blower to change the injectors.
Yes, you have to at least have the blower loose to press on the Stage II hub.
There simply isnt enough room with it bolted to the car.
You dont have to take it ALL the way off though either.
Definately have some friends there to help you when you do it!

I rented a puller from ZZP.
Damn glad I did too.
Would have been impossible without it!

I am not sure they do the rental anymore or not. You would have to call them.
If not, they are easy to come by.

is there anyway to get the stock pulley off without the pulley pulley or w/e it mentions in that manual. I have stage 2 on its way with 2.8 pulley and 60lb injectors and the best price i got so far for install was $300 and then $200 for license and $25/hour to tune it. Just trying to lower the cost on this and maybe me and some friends do it myself if its possible. also i thought i read somewheres u had to sodder the stock wireing harness if u dont buy one, is that true?

Does anyone have trouble taking the belt off? My 15mm wrench often slips off when im trying to push the tensioner down. Is there any other way to apply tension to the tensioner then having to use the 15mm wrench ??

15 MM Should work so long as its seated on the tensioner right.
I know I had that problem.
I used a little electrical tape round the two prongs of the wrench and that helped alot also.
