Speaking of mods, I was talking to my brother about putting a smaller pulley on the supercharger (3.4") and he told me that if I did that, I would have to reprogram the computer because the air/gas mixture would be off. Is he correct?

You'll need basic mods some sort of CAI, Ubend delete coolet tstat, cooler plugs. Those at a minimum and if you really want to see a difference then you can add a reprogramed PCM.

The repro PCM will give you less KR and that`s why you will see the gains at he front wheels

I still have the stock PCM. You will be fine with a smaller pulley as long as you do the proper intake and exhaust, colder plugs and t stat and it is a 3.5 or 3.4. save your time and money and drop to a 3.4!

The stock computer can probably sense boost (MAP sensor?) and compensate with fuel to a certain point. Past that point, you'll need to reprogram the PCM and/or start changing fuel system components...

I don't know what the stock pulley is, but a few people before me seem to say a 3.4" pulley is fine with a stock computer, so go for it

Then again, I have more experience playing with turbo cars (a lot of my friends have DSM's) than I do with supercharged cars, so I could be way off here...

Well... first day I drove the vehicle (had to wait the weekend to finish the transfer of the title), and the fuel pump goes out on me. My brother can get the module for $200, but it's gonna be installation labor that kills me. I just don't understand how it went like that, so unexpectedly. I imagine it had to do with me on it too much, but it was only 1 day!!! Well, I'm now out a car for a week, until I can get this job done.

Damn, $5000 for the car, $300 for tax and title, and now probably over $400 for the fuel pump. I feel ripped off.

on my first car (truck actually) my water pump when out my first weekend. I felt like crap! Good thing my brother had a spare in his garage. so it didnt cost me anything, but time.

i understand that you feel pretty crappy now but ust be thankfull that it broke down vs having it stolen or worse, acident. just my .02 centavos. cause its spring!!!!!!

My broke, so no for me...

Now, does anyone know exactly how much work is involved in replacing the fuel pump? Everytime I bring it up, somebody laughs and tells me I'm screwed. So I imagine it's umm... not fun?

Do the fuel pump install yourself and save on labor. It's an easy install since there's a small door on the floor of your trunk. Most mechanics think you have to drop the tank to get to the pump. Look under the carpet in your trunk and you'll see the door. The pump's just on the other side.

Are you sure? I've had quite a few people tell me the pump is inside the tank, and is hard to get to.

It is in the tank, but is accessable (sp) through the trunk.

Well that's good news. I think I'll try that first before I pay a mechanic.

Can anybody explain to me or lead me in the right direction to figuring out step by step how to replace the pump? I'd be VERY appreciative.
