still not the wisest idea to apply forced induction with our current slushbox transmissions.

the 3rd gen tl sc and turbo guys have been using mobil 1 syn and something else that has little to no friction additives. flush it out every 15-20k and they have no problems. less fiction additives, the less slippage the longer the clutch packs will last, but u will get harder shifts.

try searching for 6 speed conversion, but anyway a 03 CL-S tranny (has lsd) is preferred but very $$$, then the next one would be a 04-05 (don't think the 06 and up fit for some reason) TL tranny (has lsd, and issues with the shifter being reversed but quite easy to fix, then las is an 03-05 (i think about those years someone, needs to chime in) Accord tanny (but has no lsd)

how do you figure a turbo has more working parts?

A supercharger has one, a turbo has two, one being a wastegate and if you run an internal wastegate on a turbo they are controlled completely by vacuum, and as long the line doesn't get damged, an internal wastegate will not fail; also some people run wastegates on their supercharger to prevent overboosting, so then they are equal

i have always been a fan of turbo haha not sure too much about forced induction for the tl but most other honda motors respond well to turbo setups. stock block stock head gasket b16a2 civic making 377whp at 21 psi and used to be my daily driver and my s2000 makes 398 at 10 psi and that could be used as a daily minus the voltex wing makes cops wanna pull me over all the time haha
