F'ing MF and their F'ing censoring[:@]
The ones you should be complaining about are the former members who SPAMMED the heck outa that website (no, I won't give usernames). They are the reason for the filter being needed. Regardless, the Admins at both sites are on good terms.

To the OP, I edited your thread title to reflect that it's an installation issue.

What a fcuked up thing to say, I hope you're joking. If he would have bought your used blower he'd still have trouble taking his apart.

Oh, and by the way. Some of you guys are saying, "Should have taken the car to Ford and have them takethe boltout."

You guys don't understand I was NOT about to have wasted the2 hours taking things out, then the 2 hours I spent trying to get the bolt off myself, then another 1 hour putting it back together, another 1 hour getting the **** off, then another 1 hour taking it all out again....a waste of time. That would be 7 hours wasted.

I'd rather spend the $800 and save myself the extra 10 hours and $100 in money getting the stuff I needed. This decision worked in my situation.
Your time must be quite valuable then. I'd rather spend FIFTY hours installing the thing than pay $800 to have someone do it. My spare time doesn't cost me a dime, I don't know about you. Did you even try penetrating oil?

I work around 35 hours a week along with being a full-time student. So I almost never have a day off, let alone 10-14 hours. I woke up at 6am because I had to go to work at 5pm, but no class. I wasted that entire day pretty much taking parts out and then putting them back in.

The one day I have off in the week, I usually spend it with my family, not with my car. Besides, I'd probably end up screwing something up during the installation anyways. Not to mention, even if I had Dave helping me, I would have to wait until 1pm to start installation because of the time difference between Florida and California.

So, for you all who wonder, "Why would he spend so much money instead of just taking the time?" Well, thats just it, don't have that time. And when I did, it got screwed.

Thanks. Anymore questions or comments? lol....[8D]

It's cool, Maverick. Like I said when you were trying to decide on a system, you do what you are comfortable with. TheX is a great system;I'm sure you will be happy with it once it is installed. If other guys don't feel the price is justified, well that's their opinion. But it is your car and your money. Keep us posted on the progress.

Is that why you keep trying to sell the Vortech and go Turbo, I mean, if you wanted more power, I could have also said "I told you so". Btw, whats your car run? Any ET's? It sure looks "perty". Got any show trophy's for it? You have any constructive suggestions for this thread?

@Bill,

Indeed, both sites are on good terms, I mean, it was MF that let us post the group buy here which is pretty cool IMO. The admins/mods are on good terms and collaborate a fair bit. Maverick also has an account on the MC, so there is nothing preventing him from seeking help too.

@Maverick,

I would try the methods described in this thread, I wouldn't give up man. What area you live in?
