So I just finished my FFS ColdSide kit with 110mm pulley!

I work at a dealership (Nissan) and have access to a automotive lift thank god!
Anyway it took a total of 24.5 hours for the install with help from 5-6 different friends at random intervals of time while installing the kit. EVERY SINGLE vacuum hose, coolant hose and bolt has been installed using zip ties and I installed everything in a very neat way.

At initial start-up it started up perfectly fine and idle'd crisp and perfect at 1000 rpm's. I warmed it up and watched my wideband while driving and found that the AFR's were in the low 12's. I added some fuel and now I'm seeing mid-high 11's across the board. Very safe.

I haven't run in to an issue yet except for the famous check engine light.

I've got me a MAF code, TPS code and thats it so far. I DO know whats causing it (The TPS Clamp on PC PRO) but has there been a fix for it yet?

I watched my TPS % on a scan tool and got 0% when the gas pedal is let off and 100% at full throttle (Perfect!)

Without Tom and Bill this install absolutely would not have been possible! I got stuck at maybe 20 different points in the install where me and a few other friends of mine helping were confused to. But a quick call to Tom/Bill and they helped me over the phone and stayed on the phone until I figured it all out! They were EXTREMELY helpful, MUCH appreciated! I didn't need to make a single trip to the autoparts store, and the only extra items I needed to finish the install was a Vacuum Tee, 1 Hose clamp, and a bunch of electrical tape and a SHIT LOAD of zip ties for a neat install.

The car is MUCH much faster now, i'm talking a night and day difference. Unbelievable jump in acceleration. If everything works fine, I may jump to a 115mm pulley and go from there. But I am happy where it is right now :-)

Glad we could help cross the hurdles. You could do the next install in 8 hours, I'll bet. :-)
