well we need to know the exact blower size first. Its either a 2.1 or a 2.6(highly doubt he has a 2.8)

also, $600 is retardedly cheap for either of them. Is it damaged? why is he selling it to you for $600? Friend or no friend, I wouldnt sell my blower for $600...

somthing is not right about this at all. no way someone will sell a kb for that amount unless there is more to the story. Is he selling the complete kit?

He won it in a competition, he got a better one now so he doesnt need it, so its probobly a 2.1. he also said it has a upgraded pully. its 3000 bucks new is what he said. and its in perfect condition only 6 months old. so, my original questions still stand. how does it affect gas mileage, what other parts might i need. OH and also hes throwing in an intercooler as well.

what you need to find out is what comes with it. Does it have all the necessary hardware for installation. It will only affect gas mileage if you go into boost. You can drive all day long and never go into boost if you dont mash the gas pedal. The bypass lets the boost out until the throttle is pushed past a certain point then it lets boost in. I would say you are getting a steal if what you are saying is true. Your friend is loosing his *** plus more. And just so you know an intercooled kit is 5k so you can see why we are questioning how legit this is.

Well theres only a few scenarios possible here.

A)The blower is totally trashed and the rotors are shot

B)Its a non intercooled kit to start with(not worth putting on your car, even if its free) AND/OR the manifold's rotor's are shot as well.

C)This is actually your boyfriend, hence the reason hes willing to literally throw thousands of $$$ out the window for you.


Either way something is very very very fishy here. I just spent the last 6 months heavily researching used KBs.
