Post Comptech S/C / Hondata Question ?

I have been thinking of how to go about get the Comptech ECU reflash to have it ready so I can just make an appointment with
a local tuner shop to have it installed, and have my ECU ready to go when the supercharger is installed. I'm from Canada, so I'm
not sure how long the wait would be to ship my ECU to Hondata and for them to ship it back. This is what I was thinking if it
will work. I ship my ECU to Hondata have it reflash get it back and install it before I install the actual S/C.

My question is will the car work? And will it damage the engine or any?

The reason I'm looking at doing it this way is so my car won't be sitting either in there shop or out side after the S/C is installed waiting
for the ECU to return from Hondata. I'm sure they will park it out side cause they need there space in the shop. That scares me I don't
want it broken into, paint scratched or anything.

why not ship it while the s/c is getting installed?? It takes a while to get it installed, it's not a simple easy job like an intake.

The reflash will only take as long shipping will be. The reflash isn't that hard.

I wouldn't do it.. that reflash is going to give you the proper amount of fuel.. running extremely lean is what will happen if you don't tell the computer to compensate and that's a surefire way to cause damage.
