    The gaskets that come with them blow. Use new OEM gaskets instead.

    Just re-use the factory ones.

    Remove; clean with brake clean; re-install.

    And yeah, this has been asked a million times A guy.

    Up to you.

    If you plan on leaving the stock pulley, then a DP will be just fine, hell...even a PLOG won't hurt at all either. They'll just add more MPG's.
