Man, that's pretty cool, but looks like the quality is not up to par with the HKS Accord V6 turbo kit by Prototype Racing. And for $7k, you'd think they wouldn't have to use second-hand parts from the Conquest and Eclipse.
I would love to hear more about his setup. Hope his tranny holds up.
Does he post here?

Yeah, I've talked to speedcraft before... They're in the Jacksonville area. That's about 5 hours from me.
Vincent, the Turbo cost $5,800 not 7 grand... and like Diplo said, if you've got hookups to some parts that are OEM/Aftermarket, and not Custom, then it'll turn out cheaper that way.
Also, HKS never said how much they'd charge for their kit... (coulda been more? who knows)
Seeing as a Type S does about 14.0's - 14.2's with i/h/e (around 300 hp @ crank)
I roughly guess... maybe 13.8's with decent traction. If he had better gearing I would say 13.5's.
As a rough guide, he's got a higher power/weight ratio than a Supra Turbo.

Again, we don't know if there are any turbo legs.

If Comptech makes the supercharger that is similar to Vortech style with the driveshaft across the engine, you can install a BOV too. It will basically have the same effect on perfect and SOUND pppssffff.

Please note that I am not trying to bash the TL or his car. All I am saying is that I doubt this is a really good idea after all, but would love to know about the result. The TL is really just a family sedan with no so good weight distribution and a FF setup.

Well NSX4Door,
He doesn't necessarily live in the Jacksonville area, he just got his stuff done by Speedcraft. I really haven't talked to him at all. He does have a few posts here too... I looked him up.
