Now, I noticed that I can buy a pully kit on the internet for pretty cheep. So I have a question, how hard is it to install myself?? Has anyone tried it? Should it be attempted?

Judge for yourself ...

Randy Webb's How To

Also, use a quality pulley

Ah, yep that is how I would have done it, I was thinking maybe there would be an " easy" way, via not unmounting the motor. I know the dealership offers to install the pully for about 1k, and I really don't want to pay that. Oh well guess I'll do without

Randy Webb has pulley parties all over the US where he does installs for around $400 which includes the part and labor.

With that turbo added for 300 plus total HP you'd really have to worry about the trans., and the rest of the driveline. I think I'd want AWD.

well, you could just change out the gearing, and or change the tranny all together. I do think that 300+ would be a little overwhelming, and the car is in no way designed for that much strain. I was looking at about 200-210hp just to give the car a little more get up and go. I am however, a poor college kid and I don't have another car to drive if mine were to brake due to the stress added by the mods, plus I'm still on warrenty. SO I guess I'l just twiddle my thumbs.
