Default looking for a supercharger kit

what's the cheapest complete kit that u can buy? is it the mongoose kit on MPH?

i also need a kit that's pretty easy to install that i can do myself because i don't really have an extra 1k to pay someone for the install

Easy depends on how much experience you have with sh-t under the hood, adding a super charger is a lenghty install. Plus you screw something up it's your fault... Not the shops...I've seen guys screw their cars up, or not install them right and just leave the car to sit for months.... then they end up sellin..

well i'm not the greatest mechanic in the world but i heard centri's were fairly easy?

i'm not sure how hard it will be to install all the other accessories like the fuel pump, injectors, and maf tho

bro if you want an easy reliable and safe kit you should get the mongoose kit.the best price imo and brings everything you need to safely run a s/c.after installing it just make sure to get the a/f ratio checked to see if everything is running properly and most of the time the tune they send you is right on par with what it should be.

Well, first of all, dont just buy a S/C because its cheap. You dropping a couple K into your car, do it right and buy a decent kit, or youll regret it later on when your wishing you had an intercooler or a more powerful head unit. As far as the install goes, excluding an intercooler, its about as easy as a CAI. If you upgrade the fuel pump, that takes some work, but its easy (but gassy), same for injectors and spark plugs. Really, the hardest part for me was the intercooler, I have a 3 core and it was tiiiiiggghhht, had to make my own custom brackets to make it fit right.
