Supercharger, gauges, etc. pics **56k Beware**
Supercharger, etc. Installed I also got a great deal on a helmet for the track.
Surrounded by timeslips
Helmet was $170 on sale for $110
B-pipe
Gauges at night in the driveway (sorry for the blur)
Action shot under boost

You sir are a track slore
Looks good
Must be fun to have boost. Now hit a dyno and see what your putting down. Maybe you should get some lightweight wheels now and put in a BBK to stop that beast.

The only thing that went on the CC bill was the install price. The rest was $$ cash

I haven't cleaned it in 4 weeks, plus it had greasy service tech hands on it for the past 2 days. It'll be clean tomorrow

Nice work Steve! Post next time you are going to Capital or PM me and bring your video camera and I'll tape one of your runs if you want. Also, what lightweight wheels do you have in mind?

No pressure at all!!! Simple green, let it soak for 5 mins and then gently wash it off. No attachment to the garden hose.

No it's probably wet pavement from the rain before. Or it is a previous stain from another car that my Uncle has, he's got a bunch of old cars.
My car was only parked for 2 mins before I took that pic.

steve, when you installed the SC it looks like the inlet pipe took out the farthest away throttle body. i know with the type-s it has a two stage. And for fuel management, how are you accomplishing that? I have a TL-p and eyeing an SC but want to make sure i keep in mind ALL THE COSTS associated with the setup. by the way, 72K on the tranny w/ 10K on tranny cooler, should i just skip the whole project entirly? I ask a seasoned tl/cl pro because or your experience. Thanks!

The Type-S has a dual stage intake manifold system. It only has one throttle body which is relocated to near the Icebox.
I have 78k miles on my car (2nd tranny) and I don't beat on it much on the street. Unless you are really on the throttle (i.e., 3/4 to WOT) you won't even notice the S/C.
