Noobie turbo question

Hey guys,
I'm looking at buying a 2005 TL and I would want to put a turbo on it. A lot of older threads mention J&R Next Level Performance as a company who makes one for this car. However I can't seem to find them anywhere on the internet. Are they still around? If so, and it's not too much hassle could someone point me in their direction.
Thanks for helping a new guy.

J&R Turbo Kit is discontinued. I posted this thread a while back https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-p...ilable-949220/ I spoke with Rodney who was the pioneer behind the kit and he can still make the kit for you. He lives in FL as well as me. But if you read up on the Turbo threads you would see that people later had bad experiences with him so others here would tell you to caution dealing with him. But others who are not on Acurazine went to a local shop in their area to get their TL/TL-S turbo'd. As for the members here, they either got a used J&R kit a while back or a kit from scratch.

In another thread I posted a list of threads with current turbo builds so you can read to see how others got their TL's turbocharged.

And lastly there is the Rotrex Supercharged Option by Andy (gerzand on Acurazine). An auto TL-S made about 430+hp/400+tq from this kit on stock internals. I posted the info on another thread which is quoted below.

Hi Everyone. As some of you TL enthusiasts may know, I designed (and sell) custom Rotrex Supercharger kit(s) for our 2004-2008 Acura TL and 2007-2008 TL-S!

Please read all about it below. If you have additional questions, I will do my best to get back to you in a timely manner if you'd like to message me or briefly ask them here.

There are 6 different bundles of the kit available to order, which ship within 3 weeks from date of order. These kits are also referred to as "Stages" based on your desired power level, fuel type (gasoline or e85 ethanol), and budget. Keep in mind that some kits may be more expensive because of their ability to run e85 ethanol which has properties similar to race fuels but with bigger fuel delivery requirements. I recommend up to 425whp for stock blocks on 93 octane gasoline or 475whp when running e85 ethanol as your fuel of choice. If you install aftermarket pistons and valve springs, this number can be raised to 550whp and with the addition of aftermarket rods, to 600+ whp. Please stick with the "Stage" or bundle which fits these limits.

All kits are fabricated by me personally, and are designed to install with very little modification to the vehicle aside from some trimming of a couple of brackets and non-externally visible bumper plastics.

This kit requires the removal of the AC unit in the engine bay (there is unfortunately no feasible way around this). The car still retains cabin heat and all other functionality. There are numerous benefits of this kit over a turbo setup for the TL drive-train. These include, but are not limited to: no increased engine bay heat, no heat soaking from boost related components, no need for meth/water injection, linear torque progression which is friendly on transmission components, no increase in exhaust back pressure which results in proper scavenging of exhaust gases and less heat propagated to the coolant system, and more. This kit also adds little to no weight to the TL, since AC components removed weigh as much as the supercharger kit.

Let me know if you would like to have a conversation with further questions that you may have. Email can be a good tool, but often times a phone call works best to start things off and make a proper introduction and discuss what I can offer you in regards to reliable power and torque from a properly designed and quality-made kit. If youre genuinely interested in making an investment in your car for amazing horsepower and torque, get in touch with me.

Here are some links where you can see some pictures/videos of the unit in action:
