Well its been just over a week since I finally got the supercharger installed however I have maybe logged 3 hours total driving the car since I have been so busy with work and going to a show this past weekend. The install I thought was basically fairly easy minus a couple small hiccups along the way. First problem I ran into was the screw hole for the map sensor was not tapped to receive the bolt to hold the map sensor on so I had to run to my buddies shop to get that tapped. The second problem I ran into when I first started the car was that there was a horrible scretching noise and I noticed that the bolts holding the pulley on were touching the the auto tensioner and grinding against it cause for some reason comptech had put washer on the bolts along with using flared nuts and the pictures on the installation instructions only had them using the flared bolts. So once the washers were removed the clearance was fine however I need to contact comptech and email them pictures cause I want a replacement auto tensioner that is not scratched now. Last problem I had was in the process of installing the extension on the power steering hose I had an o-ring tear. While I tried to bleed the power steering system to get air our that I thought was a result of the longer hose I was really just pumping more air into the system the entire time so a trip to the Acura dealer for a new o-ring a bottle of power steering fluid to top of the fluid that came out.

I'm sure those rims were expensive, but IMO, I don't think they fit with theme of the car.

Was it worth the upgrade? Noticable power difference? I would wanna do this on our TSX at home but its an 07' and unworthy up the hondata / SC upgrade. Although I could get an 06' later on and play with that. For now though I'm having alot of fun with the S2000. Isn't the set up for the TSX a roots supercharger system and not centrifugal?
