Cold air intake, headers, lightweight crank pulley, thermoblock spacers, cooling mods, and supercharger.

There's been one floating around on ebay made by XS Power. However, it's seems to cheap too work well. The few turboed CLs/TLs were custom modified.

Nope, there's a version for the auto as well...

I'm not sure if there is a version for the CLP...

Turbo kits have all been custom made (like phipark said).

OMG kid search!! before you make a thread do a search on the topic and I can guarantee that 99% of the time that topic has already been discussed at least twice. type in supercharger and read every thread that pops up. Unfortunately the only company that makes a supercharger for this car is going out of business so if you want one you better decide now!! They will be gone soon. but if you had done a search for supercharger you would know this already. There are 500 results on the word supercharger in just the 2nd gen forum alone. see here

if you want speed from a CL, you're already in trouble... get another car.

our cars are heavy, auto trans problems (none for 6mt), and fwd
