I hate to say it but between my dads pictures from yesterday and a buddy of mine stopping my this morning to take a look the general consensus right now is that the entire blower will need to be replaced.Here are some pics of various pieces of damage as well as first shots outside of the car since the accident. All these pics are of damage that couldn't be seen before due to the radiator support and radiator being pushed in so far.
These three pictures show the damage of the bypass valve of the supercharger. The valve body has been destroyed but also the shaft that connects it to the inlet valve is also bent. That shaft is the part we believe is not replaceable. Will not know for sure though till we can contact CT-Engineering at noon EST.
I was already aware these hoses were cut on the top ends and figured they were probably mangled at the bottom as well. I already have purchased a replacement set.
Small tear in hose that connects to supercharger.
Will need a new front wiring harness.
They are pretty certain that the engine did not suffer any damage and that it wasn't pushed back permanently at all either.
A couple dirty pictures of it outside.

Found out that the charger can be repaired. I will be shipping it to the company that makes the blower that way they can bench test it and make sure nothing else is wrong.
Also the body shop got the ok for some more stuff from insurance and so they were ready to start working on the car. My dad dropped off all the parts so the body repair is underway.

Just made payment another batch of parts for the TSX upgrades taking place during this rebuild. They should ship out today or tomorrow. Now I just have to put together the list of parts needed for the engine upgrades and get them ordered and I should have all the upgrade parts ordered except 1 then which I am not sure if I will buy prebuilt or have made custom.

Update:
Car was dropped at my favorite body shop on Monday March 5th as they have done excellent work for me in the past and normally on time. Originally was supposed to be done Thursday April 5th or Friday April 6th. Called them up during that time and they said it was not done but it would be done the following Friday April 13th. Well that day came and I heard nothing from them. Called today to get an update. "Oh it should be done by this Friday". 
I will not give out the name because they still do excellent work regardless and I do not want my car half assed to finish. However, they knew the situation that it was supposed to go to the engine shop on Friday April 6th which is why it needed to be done by the 5th. The engine shop had cleared their schedule for 2 weeks straight just to work on my car. I had planned this all with them about a month before the car was dropped off. I supplied them with all needed parts except those that they needed to get from Acura. The worst part is they were only doing the underlying work to the car and zero body work as the car is to go back to them for that after the engine work is done.

My dad and buddy are picking up the car right now as we speak and taking it to the next shop. Unfortunately since it missed its scheduled time at that shop I do not know when it will even begin to be worked on.
