Default Opinions on buying this supercharger??

I'm looking to buy a ct supercharger off Craigslist for my 03 type s. Full bolt on kit, supercharger is ported, 9 psi pulley. Kpro that's already been reflashed for the set up. And rc 650 injectors. Asking $3500 for the whole package. Personally thought it was a little high, any other opinions on this deal? Any feedback is appreciated thanks guys.

$4,800 new. So take your pick. $1,300 off doesn't seem too bad to me.

that might make for an interesting powerband, sounds like if its a direct install plug & play as long as you have a little familiarity with your vehicle you should be able to bump your k to what, about 300 maybe at 9 psi? not bad for the reliability factor..

I agree with that. It is a nice little boost. I do like the 'not legal for street use' tag on their official website.

since he said kpro came with it, sounded like it would be pretty user friendly, even if the user hasnt got years of experience already you know?

Yea just over 300hp that set up would make. It came off a k20z1 and put 272 to the wheels with that set up. so it'd made a little less on my k20a2

b series all motor you are lucky if you see 250 whp more than likely..



there may be some people out there that have managed to make almost 300 at the wheels, but it takes a LOT to get there without boost or spray. youre talking fully built, super high compression, aggressive lopey cams, valvetrain that runs up to at LEAST 10k..

Of course. This is a plug and play set up. Tuned on the same motor according to the website. So the Kpro should function perfectly on his motor.

I was just saying my experience with K series is limited to what I read online. Hence me saying I have a B series.

With that in mind I swore I saw I few K series bolt-ons getting up in the top 200's range. I did a search seems to be possible to get to 250 with cams with out much trouble. I was alluding to that for such marginal gains I wouldn't think its worth all the trouble of FI.

I've seen 300+whp NA k series but they were insanely expensive builds, very time consuming, and stretch the limit of the term "street car"
