I would get the greddy supercharger over the Blitz. Its easier to install and much cheaper. Also i belive that it might be CARB approved or will soon be. Since your in LA, hit up Island Motorsports casue they are local and are authorized dealers of Greddy and Blitz and have good prices. (714) 522-7457

And any force induction part is gonna affect your MPG negativly. I have a couple frineds with the Greddy system , and they have been getting pretty goo MPG on their auto xB's, around 280 miles for a full tank if i remember correctly.

Heh, yes cheaper would be very nice since the insurance for the care is ridiculous in LA. it's even allot more than my car payment.

Matt... does the Greddy kit fit the xA? I thought it only fit the xB.

Also, I talked to the guys from Greddy at SEMA. They told me that "there has been talk" of getting the Greddy Turbo CARB exempt. But nothing on the supercharger. Now these guys might not have had a clue, but it is what they told me.

If you look at the link it says it's for the xA/xB. But many sites could be wrong or just put it as an xA since they think xB and xA parts are the same.

Infini... I was referring to the Greddy Supercharger, not the Blitz. Blitz fits both if I remember correctly. I swear I remember hearing that the Greddy supercharger would not fit on the xA.

INFINI, I've had the blitz sc for about one year now and have no problems. It's a sweet set up, extra power on demand. The Xb owners have to get a new AC line made to route around the sc, but don't think the xa owners have to do that.

Finally started the install today, 6 hours later everything is installed and wiring will be done tomorrow. So far so good, parts fitment is good. Some stuff requires 2 people and some cussing to get it in the proper spot. Direction can use color pictures and better explanation on bolt but over all its good. Easier install then on my Cobra or My brothers WS6. I will let you guys know how wiring will go tomorrow. If I have to do this again I can probably do it under 4 hours.
