Greddy Supercharger Installed!!!!!!
Just got done with my Greddy Supercharger install. It took about 8 hous and that included installing a B&M Automatic Transmission Cooler. I have not even driven it yet, but I will take it to work Tuesday. I also removed the front bumper cover, the instructions do not tell you to do this but I had to to install the Trans. Cooler and I believe it made the s-charger install much eaisier. Here are a few pics I will update tommorow after the drive

AC Line ? The only AC line that was in the way was the one on the passenger side front, I used a few zip ties and tied it out of harms way.
Whine? I don't have a video camera but it only whines abovr 4000 RPM.
I did not get any Greedy Badges and the kit came with no instructions, but Greddy e-mailed me very good instructions in english.
I will try to post a few more pics Thursday.
Trans Cooler? I have been told that the Automatic Trans in the xB is a little weak for a Turbo or SuperCharger, most Autos fail due to heat, so I install a trans cooler and Red Line Synethic Trans Fluid to help keep the heat down.
I hope I have anwsered all the questions, The xB runs well big diference at low and mid RPM still no Rocket Ship but very fun to drive, If I need speed my other car has 1000hp. But I love my xB!!!!

Rocket, I agree. The minimum peeps w/ auto trannies should do is synthetic at 30k miles. I did the same w/ my Matrix and it shifts a whole lot easier. The tranny cooler will be next should I decide to keep it.

The power is not great but it is very noticable, I'm sure 0-60 times are cut but 25-35% (a guess) I have had no CEL as of yet. It seams to be a great kit and a pretty easy install. The Greedy kit came with a Greedy piggyback computer.

You should buy some very light weight wheels and loose the 20s. Maybe just have the 20s for shows. If you got say some...Enkei Rpf1s 15x7 weighing in at only 9.9 pounds, your car would seem alot faster id bet. Just a thought.

when i had my 18's very heavy 18's then took em off and put the stock ones back on wholy cow i felt a big diff...the stock wheels felt like i was acclerating quicker but corners felt bad ..it would feel as if i were sliding ....i would def get some nice light weight wheels and then see how you like it..or just put the stock ones take it for a spin and let us know if its worth it...
