The install was a bit difficult for me because of my newness to this vehicle. Most difficult part for me, was removing the alternator. Now that it is back together, I am thinking that the belt may be too loose. NST did not say that a smaller belt was recomended for the install. My car has less than 200 miles on it, so I am certainly not replacing it if I don't have to. I will see it it makes noises after I get me exhaust delivered and hooked up. The NST kit comes with no instructions, but if you check out the Stillen site under their pulley, you can download an instruction sheet if that helps.

Glad to hear you got it all back together. If I pick up a pulley its gonna be the Stillen. No alternator pulley for me. I take it the NST kit comes w the alternator pulley as well? Did your butt dyno register any change after installing the pulley? Im sure she revs a bit quicker now

Still waiting on my CBE to get here. Said it was supposed to ship the end of this week or next week. I figured I'd strip the car down and install the HFC, CAI and pulleys while I wait for the CBE to get here. Now I wait in frustration as my butt is ready to dyno. I think you will be pleased with the Stillen and as others had remarked, they're no issues with charging without changing the alternator pulley. A much easier install too.
