Default Supercharged!

From a curiousity standpoint, I'm interested in finding out who's been boosted the longest?

If you uninstalled your supercharger, please post why.

With the prices dropping a bit and with the current group buy on the Comptech it has got me thinking again.

Do it...don't do it...do it...don't do it

I've heard many of FI F20C motors have either bented or floated valve issue. Is there any truth to that claim?

sucks at the track on double-apex corners or sweeping corners.

power delivery at v-tec is upsetting - espcially when it happens mid-corner.

great on the straights though

boosted for 1,900 miles now and loving every bit of it.

Only regret I have is Wish I would've done it earlyer.

Definately loving the whistling sound at low rpms. Love the straight line power. And man after boosting just a bit I look at my speedometer and i'm already at 90??

Comptech w/AC
3 months / >2k miles
No major problems...a few minor ones
Only regret is that I don't have the $$ right now to buy: higher boost pulley, injectors, EMS, etc. etc. etc.

It's like a damn addiction!
