I think you need a belt, and its like $60 but i'm sure Kenny or another supercharger owner will chime in!
DUDE, post some pics of your car, it sounds sweet and i don't think i've seen any pics!!!!

It pretty much comes with all required parts. The only thing you may want to get later is gauges to monitor your Air/Fuel ratio and boost. You'll be fine without those things too though.

^^ Yep, the auto tensioner requires a smaller belt. BTW, did you get your boost gauge setup?
There's a belt pictured in the instructions for the kit, so it must come with one:

Nah, i still haven't hooked up my boost gauge. I've been so busy with work that I haven't had time in the last two weeks. Next week i'll get it done hopefully. As for the belt, my auto-tensioner did not come with a new belt. The original Comptech belt was too long so it wouldn't work.

I see you've got an AT...what year is it? I ask because the only AT year the Comptech S/C is compatible with is the 04.
If you've got an 05+, the only way to use CT's S/C kit is to get an 04 ECU & immobilizer which will be an additonal $1k (if you can even find them).

Hondata has reflashes for the 04-06 TSX A/T and M/T except for the 05 AT. So yes there will be a kit for the 06 TSX A/T.
http://www.hondata.com/reflash.html
They will be available late Sept.

i got an 04.. but it seems like it hard to find A/T Superchargers now.. since comptech is out of bussiness i think..

hm.. where did u go and buy the belt at then? did u install it at a shop and they told u the belt was too small?? how long is installation supposed to be? and is the gain worth it for all the money spent? or could it be more?? i was reading up and the PSI seems like it blows.... can it go higher?? or will it just blow way too much gass?? as for the supercharger.. u have to fill up on premium right?

Also, you should be running premium in the car to begin with, so of course your gonna still need premium with the supercharger
o gosh u serious
!!! ive been running unleaded for sometime now.. before i was putting premium but i couldn't afford it no more.. lol
