Apten Install tonight

[unit213]

I'm installing my Apten tonight. Just curious...

Anyone ever done one by their self? I'm going to give it a shot tonight.

It can be done, but it is heavy lifting it with the intercooler attached. I would stop by after work today but I am working from home. I'm sure someone will volunteer to help.

Weight shouldn't be an issue. It is in an akward spot though.

Thanks for the offer Blksnke. I'm in Dearborn.

Update - Apten is installed. I recruited a buddy of mine for help. He's very good with cars, but has never been under the hood of an '03 Cobra. Everything went great until he snapped a bolt off in the lower intake manifold...one of the gold bolts. He was being really careful too. Cheap ass bolts.

Anyone know an easy way to back that out?

I couldn't fire it up tonight unfortunately. I have to swap pulleys. Mr. Billetflow is going to hook me up with a pulley puller Sunday so I'll crank it up then.

Overall, not too bad of an install except my back is killing me. There's a reason why there are no 6'7 mechanics.

Where at?

Dan Millen does my tuning so it'll be done at Livernois. I'll come to the dyno day too and make a few pulls just to hang out with everyone.

Dan, just read the post, you should have called me, you know I am just down the road and would have been more than happy to come give you a hand, maybe another time. Talk to you soon.

No dyno'ing for me doug until I get the blower situation straightened out. Hopefully it's resolved before the 30th. I doubt it'll be tuned by then though.

Vector - Thanks for the good wishes...just trying to catch up to you!
