1. no - your going to be reflashing the computer with the new tune, no need to disconnect it

2. yes it does get replaced with the one that was given by JLT

You don't need to pull the fuses or disconnect the Fuel Pump. Enjoy!

They are torx bits. I would go check on mine outside but I have the JLT already installed w/supplied screws. They are like a torx 15 or 20, I don't remember for sure.

I was thinking they are torx 13, I just bought one of those sets that folds up like a multitool and it has various sizes, comes in handy.

One suggestion is to flash the computer before you install the JLT. If you have problems with the flash you would have to reinstall the stock air box to drive the car. I have heard of a few people having problems with the tune so this could save you some trouble.

You're gonna be impressed at the difference.
The only thing to watch out for is the small end of the filter will rub the paint off on the fenderwell & a small spot on the hood.I put a small piece of thin hard foam on those places.
Best bang for the buck with these cars in my limited experience.
What octane tune you gonna run? I started off with a 89 tune, then switched to the 93 with the lower gas prices.Noticed a better 'pull' on the lower end running the 93 tune.

I am running the 87 until my half tank is gone then I will be putting in the 91 torque. The first thing that I noticed when I wa crusing up my street was how much it woke up the exhaust. After I turned the corner I hit it and it screamed, it also set me in the back of the seat!! I didn't think it would affect the exhaust this much. I also noticed how hard it pulled all the way through the gears. I am really impressed with this intake and Doug's tune. I can't wait until I can install the 91 torque octane tune. Install was fun and easy, other than having to go to autozone and get the darn star piece to take off the star screws on the maf sensor. Gotta get out and go through this tank.

Is there a big difference when going from the 87 tune to the 91.
