CT/Comptech P/S Bracket from S/C kit
Before contacting CTE I figured I would post here, because it is really hit or miss with them.
Can anyone post a picture or tell me what the Power Steering Reservoir Bracket looks like from the S/C kit. Or tell me any info about it.
I want to make sure my S/C kit is complete before starting install.
Thanks you for reading.

There really is not a specific picture of the PS bracket from the kit, that I can find, unless someone else has one.
It looks like the OEM one (#3 on the link below);
https://www.acuraoemparts.com/auto-p...p-s-lines-scat
however, I believe the lower 'right angled' L part that bolts to the chassis is reversed to bring the reservoir AWAY from the S/C'er end pulley and belt idler pulley. If you don't have the correct bracket from the kit, just modify the OEM one, if possible, to achieve proper fitment. You'll see what you need to do, once you get the blower in, to pull the reservoir away from the pulleys and keep it there.
Thank me/us by updating this thread with pics from your successful install.
Good luck.

Thanks guys, if necessary I can definitely modify a stock one, just cut off the mounting hole tab and attach it to the other side.
But for sure if anyone has a spare or a picture of the specific one, or even a measurement of where the new hole sits compared to the old one I'd be open to see it.
Zeta I definitely want to do it right, and I may even has the blower serviced prior to install, so that could be awhile. I am already planning on possibly doing a build thread here or something.

^ It looks like you don't have it installed correctly. I found it easier to remove the mounting bracket that the PS reservoir bracket attaches to. That way, you can correctly attach the PS reservoir to the PS bracket, attach the PS bracket to the mounting bracket, attach the PS hoses, then reinstall the mounting bracket.

Thanks everyone. I guess what would be handy is to see the bracket with no P/S reservoir mounted to it. I guess I will wait and see if anyone else has input. And once I call CT-E maybe they will say something. I would still expect them to have the CAD file, but not sure if they would give it to me or not in order to reproduce one.

• I need replacement parts that aren’t on your website, how do I get those?
- Easy! Go to our tech sections and download the checklist for your particular supercharger kit. Call or email us with the corresponding part numbers from the list and we can provide you a quote to move forward. We need part numbers to provide prices though, “All the bolts” will not work.
The CT-E internal part number for the P/S bracket is 355-128. That is straight from the CL-S 6-speed S/C'er checklist; however, it does not say how much it will be.

Their (CT-E'S) FAQ's webpage states the following to get replacement parts:

Trust me, I have the checklist and part #'s and all. But this kit is discontinued, which means they don't have many parts left. And another problem is the communication on CT-E's end. I have only had difficulty dealing with them. They are friendly, but almost impossible to email/talk to. Although some member posted that they have new ownership and they were friendly, so maybe I will try again.
In the 12 years I have had the S/C'er kit the only thing that has failed on me was the Walbro fuel pump, which can be purchased outside of CT-E. Hope you have better luck with them in future.

Dam man, sorry to hear and thanks for the update in regards to having to deal with them.

I plan to buy a new fuel pump, hoses, plugs, o-rings, etc. Things that wear out. If there is anything people can recommend to look for new on the kit let me know.
