I installed the ECS Paxton kit over a weekend. The only real hard part was pinning the crank. Getting the old crank bolt out is a PIA. A Snap-on impact at 150 psi couldn't budge it.

Default crank pinning

To remove crank bolt, one 3/4" drive break over bar and half a floor jack handle as cheeter. Still almost couldnt do it.

I installed my TVS 1900. I also since installed my own meth kit.

That is how I eventually got it except I used the entire jack handle.

Default Sc

I paid the dealer to pin crank, it is harder than than you think.

Installed Callaway kit MP112, no problem, it was fun.

Went back to dealer for alignment, you now have an extra 100 lbs on front end and removal of steering rack miss aligns stuff.

I did it for bragging rights

as has been said pinning the crank is the wosre part, you need a good 1/2 or 3/4 impact if you have access to one.

I had a local shop install a couple pulley's and pin the crank for a 8 rib conversion and just ran my 6 rib belt till I got home. Installed the rest in the garage (brackets, intercooler, piping, headunit, ect) and was a breeze. I didnt feel like fooling around with the pinning. You can really booger up the crank snout and harmonic balancer if it starts walking on ya. Just a heads up.
