oh I am defiantely having fun with it, that is why i want more power. I really just wanted more torque because I like pushing the car hard but only really up to 80 mph. I try to avoid dealing with police. The top end seems fine for me for street driving.

That is a good point this is my first car Ive ever modded so everything including tuning was/is all new learning experience on this car. I dont wanna jump in the deep end and drown.

I dunno if i will even be able to find a ct s/c kit. it is impossible to find one for the cl. Only option seems like buying the Accord one but then it is a gamble as to if it will need a rebuild. Then i would need to buy the cl esm or emanage. I wish ct would just lower the price on the s/c kit, I think everyone who was gonna buy it new already has.

Or i could buy the one for 1200 and gather parts from there but seems like a headache. Would ct still sell all the individual parts or would I need to source them myself? Damn you CL and being so hard to mod.

they all have individual part numbers , i don't see why not, you would just have to call them up and order them, but getting through to them is a joke though

the supercharger itself NO, but in the mounting accesories, mainly in the tb elbow and such YES (remember the manual does not have the VSA tb)

oh trust me I know. i bought new ct mufflers and they sent me 2 left side mufflers. Took me 2-3 weeks for them to answer a phone call. I emailed them and called the phone basically daily too.

I will buy the auto, manual or accord s/c dsnt really matter as long as the price is right and pieces arent missing. i wonder why you can buy the Accord s/c for 500 less new? What is missing that could possibly be worth 500 or is it just they think they can charge more for acura models than Honda's kinda like how NSX supercharger is 9000.
