If you've got under 30k miles on the TSX you could sell it and take at most a $2k hit (not including the value you've got form the car). Subtract that from the 6 grand price of an installed supercharger and you're back at square 1 shopping for a $33,000 car. What can you buy that's going to outperform a 275 hp TSX?
/totally agree though that there's not much value in the superchager but the stock TSX is such a steal that the combo could be worth it

Theres definently value in this for some and I can see Comptech selling a ton. Its just not for everyone.

Debuting on the 04+ TL and
TSX Supercharger Kits is the
state-of-the-art Comptech
Advanced Control Module
(ACM). An industry first; the
Comptech ACM lowers V-TEC,
Adds Injector Duration to Enrich
Fuel, Filters the Knock
Sensor, Manages MAP Sensor
Voltage, and Adjusts Cam-
Phasing. The combined result
is a vehicle with unparalleled
performance, drivability, and
reliability.
Good question..

Also just cause it's Comptech, and might be installed by a Acura dealership, doesn't mean the car is gonna stay reliable. So many parts that aren't capable of handling the added power , are subject to braking. Clutch will most likely need to be upgraded....so add that to the list of bull. by havin a serious mod to your engine......i'm still holding out for the Hondata on my 05 ECU' then seein what shows up down the road....

For that much $$$, it's not worth it to me. Happiness for me is through the gains of the Hondata reflash. I'll wait until I get my new S2000 if I want more fun for that much more money spent.

I'm not dumping $10k for 50 hp on a FWD car in this case. I'd rather do it to an S2K. At least it's been a proven success for the Comptech blower kit (provided it was installed properly and they actually bought a complete kit new with the reinforced diff housing).
