Yes! it is posible with a lot of swapings part, but the set up is still the same. I believe that the turbos from RSX would be a little bit too small fror TSX (hence, 2.4 vs 2.0), so whatever RSX is running on it's going to be too small for TSX, then cause the turbo is spool way faster than it's suppose to be. As for headers you probably need a new one to compensate the larger displacement.
Finally, you need to tune you engine. The most important part! Map sensor on most Hondas aren't capable of any pressure that's higher than atmospheric's pressure.
I'm sure hondata can tune it for you.

For the money i would say that the turbo charger will require less money and less complicated, too. For the supercharger you need to built a custom intake manifold for it and boost pulleys, etc. However, if you choose to go with the Turbo charger the only thing that you need to worry about it exhaust manifold. Of course, at this moment we're not talking about ECU tuning, which suppose to have the same complication.
Oh, for the turbo charger you need to know your way around the engine since there's more plumbling to be done.

Probably not for now. The heart of the problem is not the hardware, it's the ECU tuning, and there is no easy way around this yet. I am not aware that an RSX-S ECU can be swapped in a TSX.

a SC from Jackson Racing ... we are lucky if they have anything in 1 to 2 years ...
it would probably cost 4-6 Gs to get one of those in a TSX
