Performance Upgrades

I looked into upgrading my 03' CL 3.2 Type-S, after finding all of the easy stuff (cold air, performance plugs, brakes, ect.) I began to look into a performance chip and turbo charger. I was told that for honda made cars there is no such performance chip I also read and sadly accepted this but couldnt find a turbo at all and no word as to if there is any or not. If any one has any idea on either of these, OR has any other suggestions on other crucial upgrades I could get please feel free to post such things.

theres plenty of things headers, pulleys, intake, exhaust, supercharger. you can get a turbo charger but it would have to be fabricated which is a lot of money. also ther is a performance chip for the cl its made by unichip.

Do some research on xs power headers. Best bang for the buck performance mod for this car. Hands down.

You're 18. I can't imagine you would actually spend the $7k on a turbo kit even if there was one. Not trying to be mean but everyone thinks bigger then their wallet at that age.

the weez speaks truth again...and some of us teens have the money but not much more than that, so either way it never works out. don't let money get to your head...

and don't let speed get to your head especially with this car. you'll be spending money endlessly to get this car as fast as any 18 yr old wants. get headers, plenums, pulleys and call it a day...no call it the lifetime of your car until you can afford the turbo'ed or s/c'ed 6speed cl or whatever else you'd want...as a second car!

so do good in school then you can have whatever you want...why rush? my motto anyways...

If you're looking to have a fast car, get something else. The money will be much better spent on a totally different car. Even with a turbo these things aren't that fast.

I'm a noob but have been searchin for some power upgrades myself . There is a place in AZ that does custom Turbo kits for the CL. Forced Air Technologies. The Kit is $5500 w/o I/C or $6700 w/ I/C. Too much for my blood. They will also need the car for 4-6 weeks. Too long for me to be without my Baby!!
heres the link anyway...http://www.forcedairtech.com/

you need to get the air intake with the turbo props on it. Estimated 40-50 extra horses!!! You will be a rocket ricer fo the win!
