got mine in yesterday and installed myself at the shop (im a mechanic) the center on the balancer needs to ne roughly 1 to 2mm larger the other problem i ran into is the factory belt will work butt... i wouldnt use it because it is too loose the biggest problem is getting a belt that works... factory is a k070810 gates belt... you NEED a 790 but they and when i mean they i mean every belt manufacture worth a damn doesnt make a 790 in a 7 rib belt... i drove home last night with a 790 k6 on :-/ ordered a 786k7 and just got it delivered ten mins ago i will let everyone know if it works...
ps. since the new balancer is smaller than factory i tried installing it by itself and the factory belt was too loose for my liking. with the alt pulley installed it was really too short i could slide the belt off the idle pulleys w/o even touching the tensioner not to mention it was completely retracted not placing any tension on the belt
also you do need to partially remove the alt and tilt it downwards to be able to hit i
