I am sure removing the ECU is cake. 30 security torx I believe. As for the pulley....thats a different matter. I think it has to be pulled off and pressed on. Not a good job.

You are correct, but he doesnt have one. As for the pulley, its seems that Paramount usually cuts them carefully with a grinder etc......on refitting, the pully is heated up and slipped on with a welders mit etc....they come off easily with a 3 leg puller aparantly.

Where can I get a .30 security torx?

Thanks.....

LOL I hope they are 30 and not 25 or something. I am pretty sure they are. I have probably ten of them in my box.
Not sure I would want to be the guy cutting into your $5000 supercharger LOL

It doesnt matter if they are wrong, they were a dollar each.

They dont cut into the SC, just the pulley. I dont think I would want you cutting into my Super Charger also.

Just saying accidents happen and I am glad it is not me. Good luck though, I heard the speed increase is phenomenal.

I know, thats why im trying to find a Real Jag tech and not a kid who changes oil and filters all day.....This is no big deal in the UK, but here everybody gets poopy pants with mods. I might just get a Paramount tech to come over for a few days and do it all. Cheap flights, a few theme park tickets....throw in a hooker.....might be worth it.

Phil - if you get to the point where it really makes sense to have someone come in from Paramount to do this, I would be interetsed in having them do my car at the same time, here in Chicago.  I was actually going to pull the ecu this week to ship to Paul, most of th mods seem starightforward except the pulley so I to would feel more comfortable letting someone who has done it before have at it, rather than being a guinea pig for my local speed shop.

Let me run it by Paul, if there was enough interest, Im sure they would do it. The PR alone might be worth it for them.
