Super charger

Just installed mine (8 hours) and gave it a test run, right now I have a smile from ear to ear If your considering getting the supercharger, do it you won't regret it. Wow!! I love that whine and the screatching of tires

Sorry I was cleaning up my tools for the last 2 hours, but the instal was fun except for a few things. Challenging items were: all those little stuck hoses and hose clamps that barley fit. Tearing apart my whole radio consol, mistankenly thought that I read somewhere the ecu was behind the radio, then to find out the ecu is completely accesible by lifting the passenger carpet , 45 minutes wasted. Little allen screws on the bottom that hold the blower onto the bracket are only doable with an allen wrench and swivel extensions. Having the dash lite up like a Christmas tree, because I forgot to hook up one sensor, priceless Besides that, it was all fun and games Can't wait to see my wifes face when she drives it. The worst thing about the install is getting antifreeze spilled and on my arms, I HATE THAT STUFF!!!

When it's all said and done, I find it very rewarding!

When my wife drove it the first time she came in and said "something's whining".

She didn't say anything about the tires squeling? I guess she didn't floor it . Yeah I've got my wrenching fix for the next two months . I love that whine sound, people just look like what was that? Now if I can only find my radio code now.

SC sounds awesome..

Are you AT or MT?

And did you buy the SC secondhand? The price is def. more appealing closer to $3k than $4k.

It's in a Acura TL-S 2003, automatic. I bought the charger from a private party, not a distributor but it was new. I'll take pics but I need to figure out how to post them, or host them?

Just keep the VSA on for your wife, and she will never know.
