I need a place the s/c and the first place I went to was recommended by a friend, but so much for a hookup, the guy said around $2,000 The guy has done s/c jobs before and thats why i went to him, but he doesn't seem to know much about the comptech even though its pretty much bolt on. Anyways, I went to a local shop in frisco called Mach 3, and I know they do good work. He's trying to charge me around $700, but I dunno if that's a good deal? Sure better than 2 grand, thats for sure! And the guys has done Comptech s/c install before so its even better, but does anyone know any shops in sf or around that do s/c installs?

 

DIY! Just use the writeup from Comptech and there are some helpful threads on here as well

 

One of those sport compact modification guides at advance autoparts has a decently detailed comptech supercharger instructions on a CLS, if you want to attempt a DIY.

 

dunno, i just dont want to fuck shit up. Last thing I need is my car to be in the shop again for something going wrong

 

^ u got a good deal on the S/C . don't waste $700 just for theinstall. just go ahead and DIY it doesn't look that hard.

 

I remember taking my UR SC Crank Pulley and HBP, that replaces the alternator pulley, to a shop to install and they quoted me $450 for labor

 

Try Blacktrax Performance in Milpitas if you don't mind a short drive...ask to speak to Jay.

 

thanks Angelito, i dont mind the drive. I was also thinking about chad's place in sac town. I hear he does good work. you dont have the number for blacktrax by chance

 

I'd consider taking it to Mach III, they are known throughout the bay and have a very good reputation, 700 is really cheap and you know if they mess something up they will fix it or their rep goes down the shitter.

 

Damn the install really isn't that hard. Only thing you really need to be conserned with is properly adjusting the FPR and installing/adjusting the ESM.

 

how about a place for header installations in the south bay?

 

^

 

sheesh 2k??? thats bull...im gettin mine thrown in for 550...its all bolt on...id do it myself but i rather not fuck sumthn up plus its cold as shit outside

 

yea, ive already spend hella $ on my new engine, so I dont want anything else to go wrong.

 

I paid $800 to have the S/C installed on my CLS-6 back in 2005. They put the S/C kit and the UR SC Crank pulley; power steering pulley with new belt; guage pod install with fuel pressure and vacuum gauge wiring.

Seven hundred sounds reasonable for Cali.

Matthel there will take care of you, he does good work.

 

I had mine installed by Sterling Acura in Austin TX and I was charged $720.00. The price you are being quoted is not bad.

 

thanks, i'll be sure to stop by
