5.3 Used Supercharger?

[DWebPro]

I am really considering purchasing a used supercharger kit at this point and wondering if anyone had any comments on what I should look out for?

It will be a crap shot in the dark for sure but to have something California legal is my main concern without buying something new.

Nevermind... seeing the kit on blackbear and seeing what I would be buying used on ebay made me realize it might be more headache trying to go the used route...

Yeah I considered trying to go used or piece together one but it looks like a huge hassle and then I wouldn't feel confident. I just bought the bullet and ordered a Whipple kit from BB. A lot of money but I'll know I'm doing it right.

so many unknowns. gaskets, pulleys, bolts, so on. Trying to chase down missing pieces can be more a headache than trying to put it together.

I might end up going down that same path after some aggressive saving.

Completely agreed!

Unless you know who is selling, it is a crap shoot. The used systems we have sold off of our own vehicles, we send in for a certified refresh. We also typically include a new box 2.

Yeah, when I see something like the below it makes me think I won't get everything I need to get it installed.

Especially when they call it a turbo supercharger....

Correction: They called it a "MAGNACHARGER TURBO SUPERCHARGER"

An ebay turbo install would be better option, pretty good reviews and following from some guys on PT
