Do not call CT...if we all call them they may raise the price...LOL....for real people...I called CT and they said MAY1 and torque is not an issue and power output is around 60 at the rear wheels with little torque increase.....

Oh and I am not even going to think about buying one of these until I see a real world dyno.

WOO HOO! so now whos going to buy it.
It would be nice if someone would have it on for 6 months or so and give an extensive report on any issues that may or may not arrise and of couse dyno and track numbers, also what a supercharger does to a TL's gas mileage. All I can do is hope

I am going to buy this on May 1st if this is really coming out at that time.. (I doubt it). CT has a tendency to make false promises w/ their release dates. I shouldn't say false promises... but false projections. I will do an extensive report and have tons of pics as I always do. I guarantee it.

I have 22,000 on my 5AT and I finally am convinced that Acura has resolved the tranny issue, once and for all. My '02 trannies (all three) never lasted more than 12,000 miles each. Therefore, making it to 22,000 w/ very aggressive driving has convinced me that my tranny in the '04 is not made out of glass anymore -- so the charger is coming for me as soon as CT releases it. And trust that it'll be $5000+ and you'll have buy a tranny cooler, fuel pump, and new battery .. so add a few extra hundred bucks.

I wonder if their going to come out with a Comptech Icebox as well to go with the supercharger. The current Type S Comptech Supercharger package includes an icebox since the supercharger is designed to accomodate it only. I may pick one up too......but that would mean taking away from my NSX fund. I let you be the "test dummy" Peter.....

I too will be interested to hear from those performing the mod, preferable the DIY guys. Like the above questions, just to see how complete the kit is and or any follow-up mods etc. required to obtain consistent, safe, and reliable performance.

If this news can be confirmed, it is indeed a good thing. Even though I have no plans to install this, having a supercharger that actually works and is available increases our car's profile somewhat, especially since there are traditionally few aftermarket parts for the TL. I hope that will be less true of the 3G TL than it was with the 2G.

Everyone acts like peter is doing us a favor and going to 'take one for the team'. But those who are adventurous are prosperus, too. He'll have the fastest tl on this site, right? Anyone else think they will be able to hang with peter's supercharged TL? (damn, that has a ring to it-sounds so awesome!)
If so what other mods are you relying on?

One on the right for me
although this would look kind of weird on the TL, wont putting wider tires on the front help with s/c induced torque steer? thats what pontiac did with one of their new models, i cant remember which one but remember reading about it, though it did not say whether or not that was an effective step or not.

Yeah i'd imagine since they've been on the market longer, more aftermarket parts have been developed for 2nd gens. But does anyone without supercharger on their 3rd generation tl think they'll be able to hang with a supercharged one?
By the way, how fast are they getting 1\4miles with those tl-s ?

PS: May 1 (if they make the date) will coincide nicely with the fact that RonDog says the 3G Body Kits will start shipping out in May as well. 3G TL w/ Inspyres, RonDog Body Kit, Comptech SC and one of the 3 CAIs......

This supercharger is not going to produce a good bang for the buck in my opinion at $4500 - a supercharger on a motor of this displacement should produce at least 100whp and another 50 lb ft of tq. I will only go forced induction on my car if a good centrifigul supercharger comes out producing gains like the Vortech did on the 99-00 Civic Si = 120whp for $4500. I say be patient and see what comes out - another case and point - Comptech was the first company to come out with a race header for the RSX Type S and I along with so many others paid the crazy $1100 price for this piece which produced about 10hp max gain. Later DC Sports made one just as nice for $400 and it actually outgained the comptech header. Wait to see what other companies are planning before making your decision or as an impulse buyer you'll possibly regret it later

You think other companies are going to invest in making superchargers for the TL???
The comptech is a good supercharger. Add a HBP and you'll gain another 30-40whp putting you at the 100whp you want. And comptech is also quality, more so than a lot of other brands out there. Don't forget, I believe almost all of Comptechs stuff is CARB legal as well, kinda important if you live in Cali.
