how hard is it to remove the IM.
damn, i just looked in my engine, there is like 20 screws you have to take out with a bunch of wires. some of those screws look really hard to get to, has anyone done this by them self or should i take it to a shop.

I'm getting mine in the mail from Onpol this week. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and stuff when I install it. I'll do it most likely this weekend.

It is not that hard.
There are 4 bolts holding the TB on. Then you remove the throttle cables off the IM and the 2 coolant hoses under the tb
Then there are 11 bolts holding the IM on. 4 above and 5 below. They are sort of hard to get to but not that bad. the 2 that hold the BACK of the IM to the IM brace are the real bitch. Once you get those off you are good to go.
Total removal and re-install time is about 2 hours.

is there any documents on the pullies or are you going by others experiance?</div>
Yes, do a search on "pullies" on Fxtreme, or here, you will find MORE than enough information on both sides of the issue, but you should make up your own mind.
It is my personal decision that the small gains do not outweight the possible detrimental effects. Others disagree with me, and use the pullies. To date, no tiburon I know of has had a problem with the underdrive pully....yet. wink.gif

just refresh
there is a weight on the opposite side of the pulley correct. is it possible to put the aftermarket on with the weight?</div>
it is not a weight, it is a harmonic dampner. The weight and the rubber in the unit dampen out the "shocks" or "resonances" of the 4 seperate cylinders as they fire off.
