thats true... but the spooling of a turbo is more recognizable than the whine of a s/c.... plus theres not that many s/c RSX-s around so i figured i'll go in a different direction. now i've been looking at the Comptech s/c and theres a bunch of different models... K-pro upgrade, with and without ECU re-flash... whats the difference with them all?? also, whats the instal time on one? would it be a weekend job and ready for driving on a monday sorta thing? i really want to do this on my own... btw... are there any meets happening any time soon? my bro is constantly going to accord meets but i dont see many rsx meets on here.

Supercharger options are crap on Hondas. A turbo will be way more efficient at power and there is a lot more aftermarket support for turbo setups over supercharged setups.
Spanking a 350z doesn't take much. They are slow, heavy cars.
Focus on making it look sleeper for now and then focus on making it sound sleeper later.
