F/I ATI question Is it possible to get a D1sc or P1sc for another vehicle (threw ebay) and make ur own plumbing for it. I know that i would need the pulleys, I am assuming i would order them threw ATI or again look on ebay. Whats pats would i need that comes in the kit that is not transferable from another vehicles setup? Reason y I am lookin to do this is cause I have seen these superchargers go for $2k adn figure with a little ingenuity and time i should be able to spend an additional 1-1500k on parts comming out well below the retail of a new one $5200.

You might be able to buy the head unit for $2k but what about the intercoolers?
I'm am sure you could fab up something, people do. You just have to figure out the cost difference of buying the headunit and a couple of intercoolers or one customer intercooler and see how much of a price difference to buy a full kit. ie: if it looks like you are going to save a whoping $500 you might as well buy the whole kit.

Like pongo said..... Intercoolers arent cheap.... the ones that come with the kit are 2 core and run $650 EACH.... the 3 core ones are $950 each from ATI........... Find someone on here selling there kit....... BIG BOS might be selling his kit if he doesnt get his Cogs worked out....

for average joe, no it won't be much cheaper.
For me, if i wanted to go ATI, i could do it cheap, and just do the 8 rib SCE and steel bracket and do it right, but that is because i already own many of the high dollarparts. *(fuel system, ATI super dampener, and the ATI plenum/Intercoolers)
For average joe, unless you buy used aluminum brackets, and 6 rib setup, and can build an intercooler, your not going to be saving a lot of money.
if you can build your own intercooler, for cheap, then sure, you could do it a little under the price of the kits.
call around, you don't have to pay retail for the kits

I did call around and talk to a few people, when the kits were 4200 i would have done it just needed the time to buy everything. now that they r over 5 thousand its not worth it, much rather do H/C cause of cost efficiency

depends on how well you shop.
I put mine together for 2k because I dropped the big bucks on the SD pulley setup.
my buddy copied me but used the ATI stuff and put his together for $1500
you can add an intercooler for around $600 so your still wayyyyyy under the cost people are paying for the pre-fab kit.
