put on the 2.87 pulley before you install it and consider a larger intercooler heat kills the vortech real quick.

Agreed, and both hands on the wheel as it will break traction at 5K RPM in 3rd and 4th

At least with mine it does, and I have 265mm rear tires.

I recently install my Vortech in a friends garage.
Still running the stock pulley, but have the 3.12 ready to install.
You're gonna love the pull =)

Gratz!

It's a fender liner. GL with the install. Vortech is still fun.

Mine is attached directly to the AC condenser in between the core support

You don't have to remove the bumper beam dude, unless you're putting on a bigger FMIC.

To relocate the PS cooler, the kit came with zip-tie like things to hold it in place.

welcome to the infected world of FI. I say infectd because once you contract the disease it will eat your soul and your bank account. Enjoy the power, but I recommend you enjoy your car and do not ride in a TT car to avoid buyer's remorse.
