Stick with a ProCharger and you will never be sorry.

Here's another deal for you. This is a polished T-trim with appr. 10K on it with a 2.75" pulley. It flows 1200 cfm vs 800 for the one your looking at. It comes with the two mounting brackets but does need a couple things. It needs spacers made to go between the two brackets. You would mount the brackets to the blower and measure the distance and make some spacers out of aluminum. It also does not have the belt tensioner bracket for it. This could be made out of a flat piece of steel. I could trace my bracket on my car to help with this. I would send a new tensioner. This also comes with a modified intake tube. The bung for the bypass valve has been cut off and a larger one installed to go with a Vortech race bypass valve. I also have an OBX 3" intercooler to go with it or a deal could be made for the aftercooler. I do not have the water pump or any other accessories to go with the aftercooler. $1700 OBO. Tom

I don't know, it sounds like a fair price. Just keep in mind there are a lot of parts not included. If you plan on buying the rest from Vortech it's going to cost quite a bit of money. If you plan of fabbing up everything yourself, maybe it's worth it.

I bought my Vortech G trim kit with most parts, excluding ATI dampner ($450) and a couple other small parts for $2,200. I think by the time you rounded up the rest of the parts you will have wished you just found a complete kit, for price and sanity sake. Just my opinion.
Good luck.

That is frickin annoying, just stick to the topic or don't post. People can make up their own minds about what kind of blower they are going to get. You want to be a fanboy good for you doesn't mean everyone else has to.

I paid about $750 for the same setup but used, I had another 1400 in other parts to complete the kit to 95% complete (when I sold it for 2750) It took me 2 years to find deals on the rest of the parts (from vortech, it would have been about 2800 in parts)

The ATI balancer is $1000 from vortech last time I called. you need the power steering relocation kit, and other stuff as well.

Coming from somebody who was in your shoes, and did complete a kit, I would pass on that deal, if your going to piece together a setup, do a procharger, since you can make most of the parts yourself, vortech, is a lot harder to build any of the parts for.

Selling my vortech setup, and incon parts was smart, and then I bought a complete APS kit instead.

Or buy the t-trim listed above.

That's about what I paid for my SQ Vortech used on ebay, but with all the parts. The SC did eat a impeller blade but Vortech rebuilt it for free. They were good to deal with.

i guess i'll be passing on this. I was thinking about fabbing everything up, but in the end it would just cost too much.

Ya, I almost did this too. If you are going to do that than just go turbo and fab yourself. Otherwise try to get the most complete kit as possible wether its vortech or procharger, both are good but procharger better if you want to push it decently passed base settings.
