I got a new mini price list from Comptech. On that list it said both the 01-03 CL and 99-03 TL supercharger kit have been discontinue! Maybe that is why we are seeing big discount on those supercharge kit. We should find out how many CL and TL supercharge kits comptech sold.

 

o shoot.. it gonna take me at least another year to get enough dough to get this thing... but they wont make anymore ...

 

why discontinue a product when the cars are starting to come off of warranty?

 

comptech ain't getting much dough off their investment....

which means that competitors can make a lot of dough off of their overpriced misfortune....

 

Has Comptech reduced the price of the SC yet?

 

 

but the R&D is already done, that is the pricey part of development.

 

true, can i say obx SC? lol jp

 

Hmm... interesting news - maybe time to market a turbo kit!

 

Yeah, That's the weird part. The expense is in the R&D, they should just keep making the SC to recoup the r&d costs.

Maybe they figured that they've made thier money off of the ones that they've sold already.

I would think that the aftermarket parts business would start to pick up for the CLS now that more are out of warrenty or have hit the used car market. I would think that more people would be modifing the CLS now that prices on the CLS have dropped.

 

Wow... That totally sucks.

I wonder what's up with their decision. Perhaps they're just not selling many???

 

wheres jackson racing with their s/c ???

 

I'm suprised you haven't done one yet.

 

Don't be too surprised

 

WHAT!!!!! This blows...

 

That really is pretty surprising. They haven't even been out for that long.

 

this is suprising, so this means if you dont have one you cant get it any more??

 

Yes, I was one of the people who wanted one. Back when I had the $$$$. But I'll take on a 2nd job if neccessary!

 

What! 2nd job! we are in the U.S.A. , land of credit cards. Just charge it!

 

they dont offer cc's to people who have garbage credit

 

Yeah mna...someones gotta market a turbo kit...like 5psi, adjustable, for like $2500!!!!

 

From my conversations with CompTech a few months, most of the 01-03 CLS parts where going to be available for at least 2 more years. Glad I got my S/C last month.

 

Lets face it. The CL/TL isn't a popular car to mod. Most of the people I know who have gotten one, even the 6 speed have no desire to mod. Comptech can't be selling many supercharger kits. If you had a auto CL/TL would you chance adding a supercharger then have to worry about the tranny's? The supercharger is expensive too when you factor in labor. You can be sure there are many dealers out there who will refuse to work on a superchared car under warranty & will make claimes to not fix the tranny because of it. They are alot of poor saps out there who will take that as gospel. Remember this board or the TL board is only a small % of owners. Now the CL is gone, & there's a new TL out which is very different from the old TL. It sucks for us but Comptech is making the right choice.

 

You could make a non-intercooled turbo kit at 4-5psi for like $2500 - but a good, reliable kit making power in the 400-450whp range (6-8psi) is ~$6.5K. Now that we have E-manage, fuel/timing control - the limits are endless!

 

i gurantee that they have a good amount sitting on shelves that's why the discontinued it. I bet they'll have a supply for another year or two w/ what they have.

 

 

yah, hopefully the price goes down to whereit is reasonable

 

What do you guys want... a S/C kit for $500?? Come on.... these things are not cheap if you want reliable and quality product.

 

*** I talked with Bob at C/T this AM to order a 2001 CLS Super Charger Kit.. This is totally incorrrect. They are still producing the CLS kit and it is NOT discontinued. He said they discontinued the NON Type S kit that they never released anyway. He said the 2001-2003 CLS is is still being produced and would not be discontinued.

 

oh, thats good news

 

I want one for even cheaper than that

 

Have no fear people.
I’m sure OBX will be all over this in a few months.

Their SOOPER-CHARJAR will be made from dryer venting, duck tape, a toro leaf blower and a broomstick for the driveshaft.
I know it doesn’t sound impressive, but hey it’s only 999-SHIPPED !!!

 

 

as long as i get the same gains!

 

Hey, CLPower, it was my understanding that they were built to order. Not true?

 

they may be, but I couldn't imagine that being the case.

 

That's the word I got from two performance shops, including Jason at Velocity Resources. Oh well!

 

I also confirmed with Arin at Comptech that the S/C for the CL/TL Type-S models have not been discontinued - ONLY THE NON-TYPE-S S/C. All of the CL/TL Type-S parts will be available for another year or two.

 

I dont think there selling much, 50hp for 4 grand really isnt worth it in my opinion, Id rather invest that 4gs into a nicer car. Also comptech is overpriced its like buying a sony. you get what u paid for at a premium

 

sony is premium??
