Go NOS. Much cheaper. I have had experience with all 3. Best bang for the buck. I posted a pic of a comptech supercharger install I did. Take a look in the gallery...oh yeah..wanna throw a set of plugs in the front bank for me..oh yeahhh..you cant...the blowers right in the way...it only takes about an hour to get it off lol. Now that I think of it the blower is the way of almost anything you need to do...the integra battery(yes I said integra) is buried under there somewhere. Whatta pain in the azz. So anyway...Supercharger, turbo, NOS. Its all the same to me. Just do it right and dont detonate..you will be fine...whether you are 5000 dollars poorer or 500 dollars poorer is your business. I installed a Zex dry system in a TLS and it worked great. Just put a bigger fuel pump in and and ADJ. fuel pressure regulator and your set. Oh yeah...and a tranny. :P

i'm not trashing anyone here...but why don't you get a car that was meant to be supercharged? no matter what anyone says, a supercharged TL isn't really going to match up to cars like my 98 s/c Cobra (492 rwhp/502 tq). Don't get me wrong, I love my TL...but make it the nice ride, if you want speed and HP, get something that was meant for speed and HP

LNDSHRK makes an excellent point. However, they are some people that like a "luxury" car with a little power under the hood. I mean, look at the c32 or the m5s. Were those meant for speed and hp ONLY or both speed and luxury?

Anyway, the truth of the matter is, do what you want, spend your money how you want, just have fun. just remember, there's always somebody out there w/ a bigger and faster ride...

I traded my 4-seater vette for the TL-S. I had a 2002 Camaro SS with every bolt-on and custom programed. I was left with the decision, boost or bottle, and decided the modified TL-S would be a better fit for me right now. I would not have bought the TL-S if the blower kit was not available for it. Two- three years is about all I get out of a car, so I try to set it up, all at once, right off the lot. I do the work myself and let me tell you, it's nice working on clean, new, cars. I'd be done with the TL except I decided on the Stone headers thinking I'd have them by now. Oh well, they'll be here soon.
