Yeah, wish I woulda done that. But oh well. Learn the hard way, hopefully your SC is lucky and doesn't get cancer.

A used kit? I'd rather not buy en anything. You dont know how hard its been ran or how much care was taken with it. Also, I didnt go through with the buy, the guy was a jerk, so I didnt want to do business with him. Did not trust him at all, and not pleasant to deal with. His name on here is "RacingSolution". I dont recommend him to anyone. Very bad customer relations.

^ well now that you didn't get that SC, please get a turbo. You'll be way more pleased with results, more cost effective, and it'll be a great investment. The supercharger name alone for tC's already shaves like a grand off of the price.

Look at all the supercharger failures, please. I don't know what your experience is, but you just joined the forums, maybe you're new to tC's. A lot of people here aren't and know exactly what they're talking about. Just listen to us!

I am newer than others to this forum, but I've had my Tc since March of 2005, so I'm not new to them, and I thank everyone for their input and advice. I will buy a turbo kit when I can find one for a good price.

Turbo it. They are much more efficient and reliable than a s/c. You can also obtain higher HP with a turbo and easier to upgrade in the future.
