There is no turbo - does not exist for this car. Comptech is the SuperCharger.
Do you want:
- Power/Speed - CAI, TB Spacer, Pulley, Exhaust/low density Cats
- Handling - RSB, Springs/Shocks or Coil-Overs, Tires
- Looks - Wheels, Grill Mods, Spoilers, Lights/LED's, Dropped

I have the looks (a-spec is nice ground effects and it is lowered plus sweet rims and dark tint)
I want speed/power....I am about to buy a fx45 and I want my tl to out perform my ute!!
I am currently searching on this forum for all the info I can find on the CAI and exhaust (cheap easy mods)
No turbo...this may be stupid but, why not?

lots of reasons on the turbo.. main one being that nobody has invested the $$$ into R&D
under 5 second TL... not yet.... and if anybody would have been close, it would have been bklynpanman... he had 321whp on a 6MT TL
i wonder how fast 04accordcpe is... hes got an AV6 with like 330~whp 6MT... that thing probably boogies

Prob. 3-4grand if it is worth the gains. More if the gain in power is incredible. It isn't sounding like gains are incredible on a lot of these mods. I also worry about torque steer once I start adding more...Have people noticed a huge increase in this?

that will do the trick for power.
