Default Does anyone ever sell their Magnuson Supercharger?

I dont think i've ever seen them on the Classifieds page. How often do they pop up or are there any other alternatives? Like Used GTO Supercharger kits, etc.

Thinking about supercharging my car before my buddy trades his boss 302 in for a GT350R

(Looking for an LS6 Kit)

Don't hold your breath.

First, it's a fair amount of work to install it and get it dialed in.

Second, if you didn't keep all the stock takeoffs including a coded PCM, you'll spend 7 or 800 bucks putting it back together at buy it now prices. Not to mention the time and effort it takes.

Third, its a sweet little setup so why bother.

The only ones I've seen for sale are if the owner is trading up to turbos or something else and I'm not seeing people doing much of that.

Now this is what you want. It has more lung than the maggie and you might be able to piece it together on the cheap...

I've heard that Magnuson sells a few now and then.

I've seen one for sale every 4-6 months in the classifieds it seems. Problem is, they hold their value as well; like said above it's a LOT of work to put the car back stock so after all that the seller is NOT motivated to take a small amount of cash for it.

Agreed as above, LSA is the new "Maggie."

My friend actually got the very last set that Magnuson sold. It was forced too, they didn't want to put the kit together.

Oh wow. I figured since it just isn't that much different than a Vette(did they make one for the Vette?) it would be somewhat for sale. RIP Maggie.

I may sell mine separately if I decide to part out my car.

It is fast approaching that point where the parts are going to be worth a lot more then the car.
