It shouldnt be too bad to pull off the stuff, it all just bolts in. Plus Its always easier to pull of parts then put them on. About the only stuff you would need to get is the stock airbox and tube that goes from that to the TB, and stock size belt. I would think you could leave on the fuel injectors and MAF, but if you could find stock ones for cheap you could sell the others. You would also have to find a plug fitting to seal up the hole in the oil pan,and Some misc hoses to connect back to the stock TB tube. Then just return the tune back to stock.

Ya I would like to have everything on hand so I can replace it easy. What hoses would I need, obviously I get stock hoses, but I just want everything before I start. Plugging the oil pan, is that hard? How do I know what fits before even looking at it? Wont oil drain out everywhere when I need to plug it? What about stock spark plugs, since i have ngk tr6s.
 
To plug the oil pan you just need a threaded plug, available in any hardware/plumbing store, same goes for the plug for the oil feed. LOL dude, you just drain the oil out the pan like an oil change, then put more oil in when your done. Hoses, you don't need anything really, just the breather hoses - but those should fit with a stock intake pretty easy. Spark plugs will be fine, those are just a little "colder" than stock. You should take off the MAF and injectors if you're reverting back to a stock tune - otherwise the car will run like crap and probably throw a code (injector size is calibrated by settings in the tune, not simply by the MAF meter being used, as many people think).

Man, I really wish I hadn't sold my stock MAF/injectors...if i hadn't I think my car would have been put back to stock and sold by now :(

breather hoses and where would I get those and how do I know which ones I need, like i said i want everything before i start. dont want to run into problems.
 
the breather hoses are just any regular heater hose at any auto parts store that are sold in bulk by the foot for like a dollar. One is a 5/8 inch and the other is 3/4 inch from what i remember.
 
with the idler pulleys I have 1 stock one laying around. I know 2 idler pulleys go back to stock locations. The pulleys on my car now, are they vortech pulleys the ones that need to be swapped? Am I suppose to have 2 idler pulleys laying around. I just want to make sure cause I will buy another idler pulley, but i dont know if the stock one is on the car just in another location.
 
Why is coolant going to spill??? Are you seriously going through the trouble of replacing the radiator hose? What's next, replacing all of the studs removed from the timing cover too????

Why replace the oilpan...just get a threaded plug and thread it in there! :D
 
As far as parts go, if you can deal with your car being down a few days, you can work out a deal with the buyer to exchange for the parts you need (i.e. injectors, maf, airbox, etc, etc)
 
why do all you blown guys always want to turn around and sell the cars? i see it a lot. is it that they are a pita to maintain, or do you just get tired and want somthing different?
