X-Charger kit has arrived
My X-Charger arrived this afternoon (just as I was leaving the house wouldn't ya know).
This is one of the first of the actual production shipping version kits (as opposed to the early rigs like Afixer's which had a lot of hand manufactured parts).
I just got home, and inventoried the parts, and I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed. Everything is well organized, the instuctions are amazing (43 pages, spiral bound so they lay flat while working, dozens of color photo illustrations)
I know somebody is going to haul this out:
It's late but I promise to have some tomorrow.

Here's some shots, I built up the major S/C subassembly this evening. Sadly my plans to do the under hood part of the install this weekend got scrapped. My dealer has had a replacement top for my 'vert (due to a wear issue) on order for weeks. Naturally it showed up today and they want the car Monday. I'm not about to turn the freshly supercharged car over to the kids that shuffle cars around the lot, so it looks like my install gets pushed back a week 
Anyway: Here's the main S/C assembly (just sitting on the lower manifold at this point:
