Hello Ball Bearing Turbo
Ok so I was looking around and found this page http://www.modacar.com/products/Acur...induction.html which shows the supercharger on top and TWO different turbos, Garrett GT Ball Bearing Turbo and the Garrett GT Sport Turbo, underneath. Note that these are JUST THE TURBOS not the full turbo kit.
Here's the thing. I can NOT pay $4200 for a supercharger so even though I understand the issues with attempting to bolt on a turbo, I got real excited because it showed it as an option on the page. Can I sue them for playing with my emotions?
As far as I understand it's currently an impossibility to put one of these on the TSX engine, right?

...until we convince hondata that the development of a K-Pro for the TSX would be good for their business since the RSX is dead and the TSX is here to stay.

Ok, so if I and others were to start swarming all the tsx boards in the attempt to create a giant petition list what are the chances that a full turbo kit would cost less than the Comptech SC kit(other than the initial tester kits)?

A turbo for the TSX is very feasible. A lot more than for the 3G TL as far as aftermarket backing. Someone is working on one if not already completed or working out bugs. People always say you can't turbo this and that. Just do some research. This was a big deal for one of my previous cars. After a year and a half of research and parts I had a kit put together. Didn't install for a few more months but within those months someone finally started advertising a full turbo kit for the car. 
It'll happen for the TSX wether it be returnless fuel system or unhackable ECU..its gonna happen regardless. Thats the whole point of the aftermarket.
