okay guys the edited tools required to make it easier on yourself is following.

1/4 inch ratchet 2 inch extension and a 5mm allen socket or if you have bits for a screwdriver, one of those adapter thingys. MUCH faster than allen keys! gtfly you have this? loc-tite is also required.

Thanks; is this from your friend's install or did you get yours in?

 

[manricky]

yea it's hard to use the allen keys...

Your install or your friend's?

You didn't answer Bluefrog's question.

 

[manricky]

friends but it's much easier the way i explained.

i ended up installing it at the shop for 65. It's a very nice piece, only noticed a increase of 1-3 psi at red line but at peak it's the same unless your oem is leaking. O0

OK- I had the shop (Genesis) do mine today.

Took them about an hour. I warned them it's a tight fit and to measure the hoses twice. No major issues with the install and provided instructions from Forge.

Here is what's sorta funny... when I had the NS CAI put on- it made this strange raspy sound on acceleration. 22350 suggested it was my DV screaming, I'm about to blow! I think he was correct . I haven't taken the old DV apart to inspect the diaphragm, but I suspect it was leaking for the past few weeks. The raspy sound is GONE.

Boost is up and the response is noticeable. It's fun when a beemer guy says "I want your car" ;D

Also had the H&R rear sway bar put in, but haven't really had a chance to test it. A friend of mine is coming over tomorrow and she's gonna hold my notebook PC during a data-logging run... I wanna baseline the engine before doing the stage II upgrade on the chip. >

Dude- it's sweet!!! Wanna buy a slightly used C valve? ;D

+ I installed the TMtuning vented foglight covers. They come with a scoop that directs the air right to the filter on the CAI- I just have to get some kind of screening material to keep the larger debris off the filter; Home Depot- here I come... >

Don't feel bad Nigel- my AWE vent guage is on back order...
