Here we go! Ignition upgrade, check. In the A.M. tomorrow begins the install of the supercharger pulley!

 

I am very interested. I am currently torn between doing this mod myself and having it done at MOTD (for $250 labor) It's not that I cant do it myself, it's the special tools needed which cost at least half of what an install costs.
I would love to hear your take once you have it done.

 

The only special tool you need really is the pulley puller, you can find used belt tensioner tools on the classifieds but everyone needs one of these.

I bought my pulley from Way and used his free loaner pulley puller, no $$$ out of pocket.

 

It is not a bad install if you can do most auto repairs. It is a little more than most normal maint but just because it is more steps. Nothing hard about it.
You do need a belt tool and a pulley puller. The costs of those are high if this is a one time thing for you.

However, if you have any questions about your ability $250 is reasonable and then you don't have to worry. Quick and easy.

 

I just got mine installed with kn short ram intake, one ball and tune, its fun to drive!

 

I'm currently at a technician who does a lot of the Puget Sound Mini clubs installs and they are putting it in for $140. Shop around. It pays! Should be done in about 30 min. I'll keep you guys updated.

 

Oh wait...that's if you already have the parts.

 

Update: I think I am almost ready for real life Mario Kart!
