[StarsGarrador]

I have access to lifts and all kinds of tools so that's what the shop manager hinted at me haha. I was just afraid asking him in case they made notes saying I had the parts xD

Thanks for the install pics! I'm assuming the stock air box and intake hose have to be removed to install the pulley?

Yes, you are correct. In my case it was an aftermarket intake.

Yes, I can tell a difference. It's hard to put into words and I'm sure that everyone may experience something different, but with the intake/exhaust already on the car, I can now consistently 'feel kick' in every gear when I press the the accelerator down, at any speed. It seems to rev a little better, not like a manual with lightweight flywheel, but the overall driving experience seems to be wonderful and 'refined'. My intake is a bit louder today, more throaty, but not sure if it's the 100 degree humid temperature or attributed to the crank pulley.

For Perrin's price plus appropriate tools and time, I think this is a mod worth doing.

Make sure you can use the Subaru tool since you have an AT like me, and if you can't get that, get the Company23 one. Well worth it.

Got a link for the tool?

Is it something I can order from Subaru or should I just get that company23?

The intake is Don@AP's. Dyno'd to improve about 9WHP or so (engine likes warm air on this car). Go figure.

Thanks for the link. Just ordered the tool. I didn't even think about needing one for the install. Oh well, I will probably have the tool before the pulley ships at this rate.

Sorry to keep bumping this thread, but is the special tool needed for MT cars or just for AT? I understand that Perrin replied earlier in this thread saying that MT cars just have to put it in 6th gear, but does that lock the bottom end enough to get the OE crank bolt loosened?

Doing this on my old 944 required taking the starter off and installing a flywheel lock, because the crank pulley didn't have holes drilled in it to use a tool to keep it from turning the engine over.
