Well all the wiring is done, had to pay attention to the pin out. All the wiring only took about an hour. Car started right up and then we discovered a small fuel leak due to injector o-ring rip. Will have to replace the o-ring in the morning and will update on the rest of the install and test drive.

Power is great and I like the fact I can turn off the system any time I want. I have a long drive to work.

You have to do some cutting to get it to work.

No runs at this time. I am in Michigan and we have rain and snow at this time. I have to wait about 3 months before I can go to the track.

make sure u buy a different belt, cause i bet u any amount of money that one will slip alot. Get the Dayco 6pk1700 Drive rite belt it grips better. When u connect a boost gauge u will see what i mean, it should read 8psi all the way to redline, if it drops, your belt is slipping. Just giving u heads up, i ran that charger for a year or so.

my best time with just the charger was a 15.001. My best time with the charger and 35 shot was a 14.07 i think, or a 14.01.
you need to also put a clutch in if u havent done so, i use the TRD clutch. The stock clutch will slip within weeks.

Awesome pics, how did you manage to find the Blitz Supercharger used for 600? I'd give anything for that right now.

I got this from a very nice person who decided to trade their car in for something else. As far as the gas mileage I am getting the same. This supercharger shuts off when you don’t need it.

Thats right I forgot that you were running blitz. I was thinking about getting Greddy and was curious about the gas mileage.

the Blitz is a lot of money, but like the man says, you can shut if off when ever you want, so there is ~0 loss to MPG when it's not running. I imagine there is a slight drop in MPG with it installed, but nothin major.

*no more "4"

Where did you obtain the Dayco belt from? I have contacted a few Dayco resellers and it's not coming up.

Did you get rid of the Blitz S/C?

I got that belt form Pep-Boys, they also carry them at Advance. And yes I got rid of the Blitz supercharger because I got tired of the problems, now I have the Greddy Turbo kit. which does fit the xA by the way.
