I just recieved PP520's on friday and am very excited to have them installed on my car! :D
I read the how-to but frankly makes me very nervous in fears of something with fueling going wrong, i have done all work on my car to date ie springs,race pipe, strut bar and cosmetic things should i be taking the risk in doing this install or is there somewhere i could get to do it for me with minimal fee's?:confused:

I had Wingnut install mine after finding myself with the same thoughts as yourself. I would suggest that you do it. The how to is very detailed and really explains everything well. I read it and found it intimidating too, but having seen it done, realize that it is a fairly straight forward and easy job to do. You'll find it much easier and less time consuming than swapping your springs...

Do it!!!
You don't NEED to reprogram the ecu. It's good to play with the IQ value if it smokes bad (which I doubt it will). Even if it smokes, you can still drive it. Too bad for ppl behind:)

Installing nozzles is a fairly easy job if you follow the how-to carefully - but I highly recommend using a slide hammer to pull the injectors. They can be stuck in there pretty good after 5+ years and 200K.
