Just picked up my 02 from Comptech yesterday. Had them install the standard 6PSI kit with the new blower unit. I didn't get a chance to get on it too much or for very long because I was driving home in afternoon traffic but for the short spurts I was able to make I really felt a lot more power. When it dries up outside I'll get back with impressions of WOT through at least the first three gears to redline.
The dyno sheets showed an increase from a before (Uni filter and Taitec GTLW) of 260-something to an after of 346. The A/F was leaner in the mid-range RPMs (as much as 12.4:1) and got fatter up top as the RPMs increased (as low as 11.8:1).
They had an issue with one of the mating surfaces of one of the cast pieces which created an air leak as well as with the boost switch. They told me that since they've been selling the kits, they've never had a boost switch fail, but this was their second in a month. I also got to see the new bypass pipe under the manifold.
Overall, I'm happy with the installation and am glad I brought it to them because they were able to grab spare parts from their shelves to enable them to continue with the installation rather than wait for a day or two which is what probably any other shop would have to do.
BTW, like others have said as well, the blower makes a crazy whine when on-boost, different from any I've heard before though admittedly, I can't say that I've heard more than just a couple supercharged NSXs. At idle you'd never know it's there just by listening.
