Blow me Comptech...
Well, if you didn't know already, I'm blown, 3 lbs of boost, and I love it. Pretty good feeling but I wonder what 6 lbs feels like. Anyway, we ran into a small problem with the Supercharger belt jumping, but after back and forth, my mechanic, Jay from the Lab replaced the 3 lb pulley with the same one he had from before off his car, and the belt stopped jumping, go figure. Hopefully it'll stay one for good now.
I also did rear cross drilled and slotted rotor rotors and painted my calipers red to match the front BBK.
Don't miss the Pillar gauge pod, looks so sweet and works, fuel pressure and boost level.

Looks like it but that piece is only around $20-30. You need to trim that piece to clear the Ice Box anyways.
Congrats on the boost. I just added the HBP last weekend and the additional boost is very noticable and worth it.

You sure can. A front mount intercooler will reduce throttle response though due to the an increase in the volume of air. A water to air intercooler like Scalbert's design is the optimum setup on this platform.

Thanks fellas, I really learned how to hook up the CL based on having a previous 01 CL-S and knowing what to do right the first time. Only had the car for less than 8 months, and totally transformed it.
Steering wheel might look larger for the same reason a person in white looks fatter than a person wearing black, but its the same exact size as OEM.
I'm putting the engine covers back on, might be painting them gloss black tho with red trim.
Also polishign the SC shaft and repainting certain parts.
When everything is said and done, and I get this new Camera, I'll do a complete Photo shoot inside and out with details on the whole car to let everybody know how they can get similar parts. I get alot of emials on the steering wheel and Aluminum interior pieces like sills, heel guards, shift knob, ect...

Wow, looks great Ron. And those wheels are the shizzit. I kept seeing them on your site and wondered when and if you were going to put them on your CL. I love the black w/ red trim. Can't wait to see the car when it's done.

Man, just got back from the supermarket, it was about 3 degrees cooler tonight than usual, this thing hauls ass! I think anymore will put some serious problems with traction and torque steer. I smoked another turbo GTI and the car just hits 60 mph with such ease. Even when I was out earlier, I brought her up to 100 mph in no time and she still had mad juice left, so eager to climb to 100+ mph. I just got to get batter shocks and sways then I'll be able to travel at those speeds a bit more confidently. Best mod by far, just got to minitor the belt and keep an eye on the temprature, it gets real hot quick.

Can you post a complete list of your performance mods + interior upgrades sometime when you have a chance?

don't worry, once it cools down, I got my boy who will sit in the passenger seat to record it. I'm telling you, 60 comes up so damn quick. And Ed at the Lab told me that he retuned the Fuel or something, and the car just moves so much quicker. i know that once the temp drops a bit to about 70 degrees or so, this car will be boosting at 4-5 lbs. now its at 3.5-3.75 lbs and its itching to break traction. With the new 18" Legend GT's and some really sticky rubber, God knows how fast this car will climb to speed.
Oh, and i just got the new Canon S5 Si, this thing is great, 100x better than the crappy Sony DSC H9 I had.
some more pics with the new camera:

I think it looks better without the engine shrouds.
I love the black blower. I always liked the way it looked better than the silver. The black ones make an additional 10hp too you know.

car is gorgeous Ron. Makes me jealous with that charger bolted up. How long the install take? Your interior is flawless. What do you use on your seats? Mine have gotten little wrinkles that I would like to get out.
Enjoy!

As for the seats, I use 20k miles on the odometer and my 175 lbs frame, never put anything in your back pocket and I alwasy get out putting the least amount of weight on the bolster. Washing I use only a damp cloth, and maybe a detail every couple of thousand miles.
