Comptech makes a blower for the base TL that will yield 50-60whp. Good luck finding it used, new is around $4000-5000. You're better off hitting up @gerzand on Instagram (Andy) for his custom Rotrex kits that he pieces together (same price range but better gains, 150-300whp gains depending on what you are trying to achieve).

On a serious note, you're 21, my advice is to not boost your car, unless you're financially stacked (you have $10-20k to spare NOT including the parts to go boosted).

Just my two cents.

and even if you did have 10-20 stacks, there are better things to spend it on!

If you really want a supercharger in a car, sell yours and buy a better platform to work off of.

gerzand is the man when it comes to superchargers, and that's the way I would go. Seems to be the most reliable setup for this engine. Everything else seems to fall short and engines are exploding

Comptech- allows you to keep A/C and the roots blowers are very reliable when operated within the blower limits, go outside those limits and it turns into a giant hair dryer.

Andy's Rotrex system is also very reliable, however you give up A/C. ( I am putting a Rotrex in my Integra with a built motor)

Now the ultimate system would be to marry the two systems, use the the driveshaft of the Comptech blower and ditch the Eaton roots charger for a Rotrex unit. This would allow you to keep A/C and improve packaging.
