ok this is really only for people going from an original stage 1 to a stage 2,first i installed stage 1 1/2 years ago (14000 miles) and never realy a problem.i did install myself with a little help (installing hood),i have had stage 2 since last november in the closet but did not have time to install,i work in the auto repair business so it gets to be a pain to work on your on car.so me and my buddy opened his shop late on this past friday to install stage 2.everything went perfect untill,when i had to seperate the upper and lower intake manifold,there is a diversion plate bolted to the lower manifold with 6 screws,the plate and what i completely forgot about,6 f**cken small spacers under the plate.well i took off the screws and plate and heard a couple ding dings,well i had 6 screws aplate and 4 spacers arrrrrg.we found them in #3 and #4 cyl,they where hard to see but we found them.guess what they are alum so a magnetic tool dont work after 45 min we got them out with a small diam plastic tube filled with grease thank god.if you are going to do this youself dont forget those damn spacers or tell the shop who is going to do the install,god i hope this helps somebody(nothing like being in panic mode).

 

Would a shop vac worked?

 

Wow that coulda been way worse. Glad you made out ok. Now you really need to verify your A/F on a dyno

 

i tried that it was a no go spacer was to small,but we got em out.
