yes my stock is at 28lbs runs great make sure you get the boost anahlator from beans, your ecu defuels after 23 lbs. no good slows your down

Also yes same fluid, wicked wheel is ok you get more of a whistle and almost no surge/flutter, egt probe i put mine where it was the easyest to to reach driverside just remove the shock and its right ini front, just use lots of grease and whip and grease whip and grease you dont want shavings in the motor

I do not have a pic sorry I could send one to your celly email me at civictyperturbo@aol.com Im from middlesex central area englishtown is 20 min away. I dont go to the swap meets nothing i really need. Now the ecu defueling the only real way is when you floor it and boost over 22-23lbs do you get a check engine light? if so its defueling. if not the chip covered it. I dont have a tony chip But i hear good things about it

Drivers side manifold, from the bottom.

Drill, Tap and install. No grease unless you live somewhere that gravity is not in effect. What little shavings might defy gravity and fall up will blow right past the exhaust wheel and out the tail pipe.

Yes, the PCM will defuel the truck without some kind of boost fooler or regulator installed. Some trucks its at 22 some its at 24, every one is differant.

The 2007 front end is a bolt on deal... The wheels I believe have a differant offset, but I cant recall for sure.
