I'd swap in the CL-S 6spd manual before you do any kind of forced induction. The auto you have in there now can barely handle the power of the V6 and is likely to fail either way.

CT Engineering (formerly Comptech) is the only company with a supercharger kit for the J30. There are a few (poor quality) turbo kits for teh J30,anything halfway decent you'll have to piece together. It's about a $3,000-4,500 investment either way, not including the manual tranny.

From what I have read it is very hard and time/money consuming to boost v6 accords. Now Im not setting this in stone or anything but thats just what I have read online.
Also do the tranny swap asap if adding anymore power then factory.
