mine broke loose right away dont know why your as so tight

 

i don't know either--best guess is that when the dealership did the Stage 2 install, they torqued those bitches as tight as they would go :P

 

its funny cause it say 15 lbs of tq and under that it strictly say return special tools to the customer they are not yours to keep at any expense and i

 

thank goodness they gave me mine back, i contacted a vendor on this site who told me that you can't even get that tool for the bolts without ordering an entire stage kit --i about shat myself. LOL -- these guys must have torqued it to 63543848634384384 lb/ft because they won't budge without the pulley moving. :P

 

whos idea was it for the strap wrench

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ it was that guy's idea!!

 

lol did you try it yet?

 

nope--still haven't gotten to the store to get one as of yet..been sanding and putting a white base coat on my interior trim to prep it for house of kolor's kandy apple red all weekend. can't wait to though, i'm looking forward to seeing if there's a noticeable difference

 

i could have sent you one lol good luck let me know hwo it works out

 

will do, and thanks for the great idea! I'll rep you when i get home (filter at work won't let me rep or read pm's lol) -- i was getting pretty frustrated with it lol

 

its cool good luck

 

does nate have a website of his own? (no flames please...)

 

he has an ebay store if that helps

 

Go to ebay and in the search engine search this under ebay motors


Chevy Cobalt SS Saturn Ion Redline GM Stage 2 II Pulley

 

thanks.

 

I just bought a pulley off of the ebay website. I have a gm stage 2 kit so I didn't know which pulley to go with. I told him if the 2.85 wouldn't cause me to run too lean then go with that but if it did, then give me the 2.9. Thanks for telling me, 50 bucks for another 2.5 psi of boost? That is pretty hard to beat.

 

Really simple to install also and i bought mine this past friday and got it on monday and he ships fast he will email you right away he is good at getting back with people

 

what other tools will I need to install this?

 

If you have stage 2 blue bolts all you need is the little tool that the kit came with and a ratchet to remove them and to put them back on

 

i'm willing to make nate a site with his OWN shoping cart. (hope he reads this)

 

that would be great cause he is a well trusted vendor
