Superchargers
Good day all! I have a 2000 3.2 TL and I'm wanting to buy a supercharger for it ASAP. However I'm wondering what size I should go for, as I don't want to blow my motor or cause any other problems by having too much psi? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I'd look into swapping in a manual transmission before going with a supercharger so that the boost doesn't grenade the automatic tranny.
adding an inefficient heat exhanger (supercharger) will only help blow up the motor.

I have to believe there are generic turbo/charger options for the J32/35. You are likely just going to have a hard time finding one tailored out-of-the-box for the 2G TL like the C/T - which means paying a custom shop to build and tune one for you. $$$$$ vs. $$$
I think the fatal flaw with the 2G/3G TLs (outside of the glass 2G transmissions) are that they are FWD and you can only put so much power into a FWD until you find yourself having to start in 4th/5th gear (imagine 350+ whp on this drivetrain). It's just a really sad limitation of these cars that otherwise could've solidly competed with *every* sport sedan in it's class and era. I know a lot of people are going to disagree with this but that's just my honest opinion.
A mod I'd *love* to see would be for someone to slap a 4G SH/AWD drivetrain into a 2G TL lol!

The rest are either stuck with FWD or an auto.
