I searched around but couldn't find a DYI for the NST pulley install. I know its some what simple lose the tensioner and the belt should be able to come off and then take off the old pulley bolt and install the new pulley and belt and tight the tensioner. But what direction to turn the tensioner (stand in front) towards car or front bumper and whats the tighting specs? Any information would help. Thanks

pull towards teh bumper...im 95%sure...

make sure u have something to hold the pulley as you are removing the bolt that holds pulley, i used teh oil filter remover tool, wrap around the pulley to hold itfrom spinning.

while u stand in front of the car. Pull the tensioner bolt towards you to loosen it

Here is a pic of the tools i use to remove the bolt.
I used: sandpaper, oil filter remover (the strap type) and my 1/2 inch belt remover to hold the pulley from spinning
(i don't recommend using the belt remover, because they are really weak, I broke 2 of them)
Now i got myself a nice 1/2 breaker bar .



Took me like 4 tries to loosen the bolt the first time,
When u install it, just warp the pulley the reverse direction.

even a battery powered impact gun will get it off, easy as butter, no need for these weird contraptions lol.

what about those anti tamper bolts? what do i need to use to take it off?

jonathan110987

mine didnt come with a tamperproof bolt.. most ppl cut them off and then find a new bolt for it or u can make your own key for it..

well i installed the pulley last week, I recommed using a 6 point 19mm socket for the tensinor.. the person who install the orginal kit almost stripped the bolt. Otheriwse everything worked out good, However I only seem to be getting around 8 psi i have the forge valve maybe the red ( i think)spring is to hard?

having the spring too hard won't make you loose boost, having one too loose may leak boost.

I had three spacers on top of the red spring in my 007. I was hitting 10lbs at red line.

game-over

What do you mean by "spacer"
I have the 007 also and of came with three springs.
Sorry if it's a dumb question

The spacers may look like washers. They're inserted with the spring to compress the spring, which provides more tension. It's like using a stiffer spring.
