You definitely hit that on the head Jack. When the car hit full boost it's so scary to drive especially since I don't have an LSD like the TL. Tq steer FTL. However, if you drive it out of boost it feels like a normal N/A car with a little kick when you need it. MPG is still manageable around 22-24 mix, 18-20 city, and 27-30mpg all highway.

also during my build I had to throw away an oil pan because the drain was welded on the wrong spot, had to have the intercooler I bought chopped up and reconfigured, custom intercooler pipe, lots of custom parts, and learned that brand wastegates do make a big difference. eBay special waste gate couldn't hold the right amount of boost. Had to get a turbo smart wastegate since it was 2 inch shorter to clear my radiator hose

If you are okay with no A/c Andy supercharger kit might be a good fit for you.

Limited slips don't help to reduce torque steer. A better option would be getting PCI spherical bearings for the LCA's and a nice smooth road

In a way they do. They wheel that have the most tq (passenger side to do length of axle) will be the one first to spin and power is transferred to the other wheel (driver side) that has the most grip. But the PCI spherical bearing also helps

Torque Steer: Causes and Cures
I am fairly certain the driveshafts are equal lengths on most Hondas and Acuras that utilize an intermediate shaft.

Great, those MPG numbers are not bad at all!

I've always read about supercharging mods that causes the A/C to be deleted...why is that anyway? I assume this is not the same for a turbo mod. But definitely I would want to keep AC and as much daily functions intact as possible...

Only get really good number if you don't go into full boost. The first week I got the car MPG was around 10-15 because all I wanted to do was go into boost. lol

I personally dont like the S/C because the car is always in boost, id imagine turbo builds over Supercharged will always do better on gas

That's not true at all, when the engine is in any vacuum whatsoever at partial throttle, the blowoff valve is open and bleeds off ALL boost.

On 93 octane gasoline, I get 29mpg in my TL-S which can make over 630whp at WOT on the same tune.
