how to access dv with awe relocation kit?

k04 kit has the dv relocation kit. Not sure how to access the dv. Does the car need to be on a lift/stands, or can I get to it by just popping the hood?

Any walk throughs, or guides? Can't seem to find anything by searching.

Thanks

I just put on the Forge DV spacer, earlier today. It's definitely easiest to do while on a lift. There are three, 5mm allen-head bolts to remove.

As for the relocation kit, I can't help you with that...just the eaxtra ease of access the lift will give you over jacks/stands/really strong person lifting the car up. :D

I could be wrong but it looks like it's high up enough to access w/o lifting the car?

Sounds dumb I know, but I don't get how you get to it. I was just wondering what revision dv I had, so I went to take a look (G btw). It is pretty close to the top of the engine, but no idea how anyone would get there hands by the screws to get it off.

Do you have to go at it from a wheel well or something?

I honestly have no clue either, but I'm sure someone on here will be able to help. Interested to learn about this as well.

That pic is of the DV relo kit, AFTER it's relocated.

The DV is on the bottom, back left (looking AT the car, from in front of the engine). Easier to access from underneath, using a lift.

Once it's relocated, it's near the top of the engine....thus the reasoning behind relocation in the first place.

Oh, to me it sounded like, though he has the kit...he had no idea how to access the DV in the first place. (Like he was trying to figure out how to move it himself.) My bad, I see what you're saying now.

</self face-palm>
