Your best bet is to call this number:
Comptech USA
Phone : 916.933.1080
There is more to it than just the fan shroud. The intake piping is different as allmotor_2000 mentioned.

And BTW, the pullies are the same,... but don't waste your time with the stock boost pulley, install the high boost pulley right off the bat. Also, DO NOT buy the EMS from CT,....spend the extra $$ and get the E-Manage kit from Hope Systems, you'll be in better shape for future mods and tuning adjusments.

The CT EMS simply hides the positive boost pressure from the Acura computer. Without it the car will stall when it sees the boost. The E-manage does what the EMS does but will also allow you to control the stock, or, larger fuel injectors, and the ignition timing, both of which are critical in tuning a forced induction engine properly. As far as $$ go, if you don't do it now, you will eventually, so if you have the $$ now, you might as well do it right to begin with.

All that is 378.50.. not to bad... I thought it was going to be a lot more. tell me more about his E-manegement and why is it better..... plus whats the price diffrence on it from that and comptechs ESM.

E-manage does NOT require tuning, but allows you to do so if you want a safer set-up than the CT kit gives you.
cls6sp03, you should be all over the e-manage!
