If hes a mechanic he should know that nearly doubling the injector size on a car will require a tune

Correct, and technically changing injectors of the same flow rate but a different brand can / should require a tune.

Neither you or your mechanic thought it would need a tune?

If you are selling the car anyway then why not put it back to stock and sell the s/c here or on eBay? The car will be easier to sell in stock condition, and you'll likely get more for the s/c by selling it separately than by leaving it on the car...

Cause what it will take to get that supercharger off is not something that i have anymore. Plus the hole that i had to tap in ym oil pan and my vaccum lines for this thing, i don't even want to go there on what the hell i'll need to do to fix it. I know it'll prolly be worth more, but hey when you need money you need money, as long as it settles my debt i'll take anything for it.

I get what you're saying about not wanting to go through the trouble of taking it off but the things you mentioned aren't a big deal.

On the metal oil discharge tube coming out of your oil pan put a rubber cap over it with a hose clamp or zip tie.

For the vacuum line where you probably have a T-fitting due to the bypass valve just put the original straight connector back in or buy one for a couple dollars.

I agree it may be a much better idea to sell the car without the blower because you'll most likely make more money.
