Supercharger Install

Hopefully installing the blower today or tomorrow. Couple of questions.
How long did it take you to install?
What fluids, if any, do I need during install?

How long did it take you to install? Have fun with the blower David. If i wasn't trading the TL in, I would rock it in my car.

I would not call it an S/C band wagon since it is a select group hehehe


____
My quest continues to be the 1st type s S/C (got a job interview in the AM... Wish me luck, cuz if I get it, the $5 hourly raise will surely pay for the blower

^ Nice. I'd love to see some videos/sound clips/dynos as well.

Although I just got my car, I am already saving so once the bumper to bumper warranty is gone, time to blow it! :P

Hey, for all of you S/C'ed 3G'ers, I have a question:

What's your gas mileage like post S/C install? I'm sure the extra horsepower is worth it, but I wanna know how much my gas mileage will be affected?

dan...k did you get yours installed in atlanta? I'm really thinking about going with the forced induction route, but after reading over all the forums, it sounds like it's not going to be as simple as buying and installing super charger and then voila!

hahaha i know what smile you're talking about. If you're running the comptech supplied intake, go ahead and swap that out with a custom one, and you'll smile even bigger.

If you stay out of boost, you will get the same mileage as if it were naturally aspirated.

I have been debating whether or not to modify my Injen CAI or to use the CT one. What difference did you notice?

Time for a set of drag radials and then I'm confident we'll have a 12 sec. TL in our presence.
