welcome to the forum, we have sections like Performance where you can scroll down and see various ideas, Our For Sale areas has a private- members only parts for sale and a Sponsored section- those vendors support the site $$ and are well trusted, Dealers give us a good break on prices
yes there are coilover setups, and better brakes, frame crossbraces, lightweight crank pulley is a major power maker, and doing your basic and major services with timing belt- water pump, cleaning intake manifold when removed from car for EGR cleanout
Replace spark plugs, use NGK $8 each only! Adjust the valves!!!
remove intake resonator- free!
That should get you started looking thru the threads and DIY section - 3rd item down main list `New OFFICIAL 2nd gen TL DIY` is that sections title
You need to be more concerned with keeping the trans alive than a supercharger!
A complete engine and 6 speed manual trans swap from a CL-S is one solution
The TL trans has its issues~

register as new owner with acura at 1 800 382 2238x5 and ask them if any OPEN RECALLS, the 02 has been added to the airbag situation- those are FREE to you at any acura dealer. Call dealer for appointment if any show up as OPEN (not fixed yet)
Also register online at Acura Owners Site | Exclusive Knowledge, Service, & Benefits a free owner book download is there plus a place to safely store the radio and nav security codes
Need the cars 17 digit VIN in hand to reg at both places
the 800# needs your address because they send out the recall notices

Definitely start off with bolt-ons. Exhaust, intake, and a set of coilovers are usually what most people start with. We have great pricing on these on our website. If I were you, I'd start with the DC Sports ceramic headers.
DC Sports Ceramic Headers - Excelerate Performance - Japanese and European Performance Specialists!!
If you do want to supercharge you will most likely have to find a used kit on the black market. CT-E has discontinued their 2nd Gen TL supercharger kit.
