Raz,

That does look simple. Not sure if 8-10 hours is needed. I guess the most time consuming part would be to relocate the secondary air pump and trim the metal piece so the intake tube fits.

Edit: This thread just made the kit even more tempting..!
For a first time install..... oh yes it´s needed.

Can't wait to hear your impressions Raza. I just got my DME back today...runs even more smoothly...they really have dialed this thing in.:eek: Interestingly, your intake appears to be silver (mine is anodized black)....is that just how it looks in the photo??

The production kits will have a few changes. We changed the bypass valve from chrome / blue to silver / black. We changed the blower bracket from silver to black and we changed the intake from black to silver. We wanted Brian to feel special and have a one of a kind kit :)

mine will be back on in a week or two.

roman that pulley is really a pita, i gave up and ripped of the front end. you guys should have machined it down where the bolts go on. only way to get a clean allen socket on there is to have on thats 2 inches long, which most people wont. it could easily be machined down inside, ill show you when i post pics.

everything is done, minus bolting the blower on, and installing the injectors.

work in the morning so i had to shut her down. besides, my mom was asleep and her room is right above the garage...LOL!!!!

so far my only complaints are that the instructions are not that great, they are more like a brochure then they are schematics. something along the style of TIS would have been better. maybe its just easier for me to read that style then actual pictures. my computer is weird too and i started going crazy with the pdf reader.

the other thing i noticed is that dang pulley, ill take pics to show you guys, if roman and ess could shave it down it would be so much easier. i dont know of many who do have extended allen heads, so maybe im weird.
