Comptech is the only company that makes a supercharger for the TL/CL
There is a high boost pulley you can purchase that ups the boost

x2 ... comptech is the way to go, no tuning necessary ... however some people recommend not supercharging if ur car is high mileage (not sure why, its just what i have read on this forum)

They also recommend a 6 speed swap because the extra power (in some cases) will destroy the auto transmission within a few months.

im very surprised nothing came up on google. i guess you searched for the wrong thing.

Here is a reliable vendor:
http://store.excelerateperformance.c.../i-220514.aspx

they are in Connecticut and will install everything they sell, if you need it.

where in long island are you?

sell your car and get an evo killer.

I'm sure you could keep up with a stock evo from a roll.
once they are modded, they're faster.

Auto tranny can not take 8-10psi.
Auto tranny will stress and eventually die with the stock 5psi.
If you run untuned 8-10psi, say bye to your motor.

If your at 6.5psi, your missing 1.5psi of boost from the Aalt pulley, and you've used a pic from every place that sells the CTSC

INCLUDING...

lolol nice web shots. why chose an image so common? or fake it anyways??

and 2nd gen 02 type s: YES you CAN s/c 8lbs. but don't expect an auto tranny to last long with that kind of boost.

here's what you SHOULD do:

6spd. swap.

then engine work

(headers, s/c, IM etc.)

unless you want to blow the tranny quick and then die*.

*i kid i kid.

lol but then why waste the time? just swap in the 6spd and get going...

atleast you can sell a non-grenaded tranny. if it blows its done.

If I could, I would swap the tranny, I just know i'm not nearly technical enough. I can barely do body work as it is.
