Default Whipple SC Damaged when shipped.

Alright, Whipple SC arrived from UPS last week. They dropped the package it was in. I do have a claim with UPS and it was shipped with insurance. That is the good news. My supercharger reality has come to a whinning stop as a result. The person that I puechased the kit from has been very very helpful. Alright check out the video and let me know what you think.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can get reimbursted a decent amount, then buy a new snout with bearings etc. and make a little money for your troubles. -Jon

sorry to see that loots06...

did you buy it used? mine didn't have
any oil in it when it arrived.

it's obvious that it was dropped somehow.

hope it all gets resolved, so you can get
it bolted on and running.

It looks like the pulley sustained the most damaged. I'm trying to determine if the rest of the front of the unit is damaged as well. Is it supposed to turn freely or could I just replace the pulley.

That's why I'd have to pay ups $50 to pack it for me. My ups store does a great job packing for me and no matter what guy dropped it the packing will hold true...

Damage is done already, just try to give some advices.

Anyway, its 170 dlls for a new pulley I think, I doubt the snout is damaged, but i´d take it to a shop to check it out.

You are right the damage is done! I just need some advise on this matter. I saved about $2500.00 being used. There was nothing wrong with the kit when I purchased. It had about 5K on it looked very good. The person that I purchased the kit from is a gear head, I know just by talking to him over the phone. This guy seems to be a very honest stand up guy. I have spoken to him over the phone several different times. We are working with UPS to resolve this problem as a claim has been filed.

This whole thing really stinks. I also purchased additional parts to complete the install.
