how did you install fuel injectors with out taking off the fuel rail?

Anyone...help please.

If your dealer said what the F is a Stg II kit, then no, you don't want to have them do it. Call around and find a dealer that has.

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.
