You will need to check your drive pulley on the balancer, dies it have 2 rows of groves? If not, you need that. You need the idlers, and the tensioner. You will also need the PCM tunned to work with the SC. That'* just for starters.

Yea well no way i am doing all that. It seems my plenum was melted up inside that "chimney" off the top of the intake. We think, since that area is surrounded by coolant, this might be the issue. (If it is that sucks pretty bad for all we did). So tomorrow we hunt for a new plenum. Seems it'* a common problem also. I'm surprised it never came up in here.

Yes, the pipe did, but not the fact that the interior of the plenum could be melted out. I wish i knew enough to check things like that for myself. You couldn't see it, It looked fine. Then I stuck my finger in there and it was rubbing out in balls of goo.

Yea man, I guess so. Would be nice to have a little more mechanical knowledge, but sadly, I'm just some guy that bought a lemon, and then made it worse.
