yeah alot of people just buy the head unit then piece together the rest of the kit, its more of a headache but sometimes you can gather everything up cheaper than buying the whole kit.

Ok i got the counter-clockwise thing, but what does straight discharge mean? and how should i check it? and are there any red-flags i should be looking for as far as damage etc?

just ask him if he can get the serial/model number off of the blower then you can go to vortech's website and make sure

$850 isn't to bad. You could sell all the parts you don't need to buy the ones you do. Check for shaft play, damaged impeller stuff like that.
