Acura won't install the Comptech SC?
Say it ain't so... the Acura dealership near me in Cincinnati said that they will not install the Comptech Supercharger. Looks like I'm going to have to do it myself or find a authorized comptech installer.

Fortunately in Washington there were two to choose from and I had both bidding down the labor prices to do it. In the end it costed $831 + tax + coolant for the install.

And how about the comptech rear sway bar and the warranty? My dealer said that they will be able to install this when i pick up my 06 in a week or 2. And I haven't heard back from them yet on the warranty for this. I was planning on self installing, but if the price is right, and it can be covered by warranty for an install, may as well have them do it!
Anyone else go through this also? I purchased the bar already, I havent heard back from him yet on wether or not the bar I let them use for the install could be considered coverable by their warranty, or might I have to buy 1 of their crappy bars to do this.

However, if you blow up your engine or transmission, and the damage was caused by the installation of the supercharger, they can deny your warranty claim.

I ask for a loaner and they said "no way, this isn't a warranty fix so no loaner" I mentioned how they offered it before and they said "whoever told you that didn't know what they were talking about." One week later my car was STILL in the shop, Finally two weeks later I get a call saying my car is fixed. One top of being fixed it had 30 miles added to the milage which they said they needed for testing and contradictory to me specifically telling them NOT to wash my car for me. My car was washed. I won't do business there again.

Of course, if the supercharger installation is done improperly and you run your car too lean causing the engine to detonate and malfunction, then they can refuse to cover the engine damage under warranty.
Here's a link that gives an explanation to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act in connection with aftermarket parts/mods:
