ok, i'm playing devil's advocate...everybody is slamming roush and saying how crappy they are. my opinion is based on how much you are gonna have to pay for the blower. true, it may not be as good as the others out there, but if you can snag it cheap, it is definately more powerful than stock. i do agree with the others in the aspect that you will not know if it is damaged in any way until you install it, and by then, you will have already paid for it.
it could turn out to be a steal...then again, you may turn out just buying a really nice paper weight

If the price was right, I might even go for thecomplete engine.

RE: looking to buy a wrecked for the SC..what ya think this is?
it's a tough call.....i would be very tempted to do it. if
you have a decent size property and a garage, you
might have the infrastructure to make this a worth while
endeavor.
-
if you bought the whole shabang, you could:
install the s/c on your 05, then rebuild the spare engine
with forged internals, at your leisure....
i say go for it.

i just keep wondering how can it get damaged...this car took a side hit and caught on fire. the best i am guessing I hope to get it for would be probably 2500 to my doorstep. I could sell off the engine to recover some of the expense and I bet the tranny...i do not think the undercarriage in the area was damaged but it is a complete guess.I i am guessing when all the smoke settles it would cost me is 1500ish.
