CT, You are the best man! This is a great writeup. Its too bad that some people don't bother to READ it before they ask a question that has already been answered numerous times. Use the freakin SEARCH button guys, come on!

You definately have my vote to become a mod!

 

My bits looked helical (twisted) straight out of the box, brand new, never been used, both of them.

 

URGENT QUESTION!!! Trying to change pulleys... but every time I try to loosen one of the bolts on the Stage2 3.00 ring... the WHOLE THING TURNS... as in the whole pulley spins like it is in operation! And I don't want to force the hell out of it because I don't want to F&@K up the Blue Bolts. Help Please!

 

Try having someone pull the 15mm wrench on the tensioner toward the front of the car (rather than pushing it toward the back) to increase the amount of pressure the belt is putting on the pulley. The torque specs are also quite low on the bolts, so if you are unable to break 'em loose, consider taking it back to the dealer that installed your Stage 2 and have 'em loosen them ... tell 'em you're taking it off to clean it or something .

 

Thank you very much bro I really appreciate that. Thanks!

 

i installed the 2.79 in pulley n am a lil disappointed, only 4WHP and 12 LB of TQ gain only. so my boost is at 16psi, and numbers read 254.4WHP and 227.8 LB of TQ. how can this be true?

 

Dude, you don't need to post this complaint in 3 different threads..
