This is my situation, I payed 3200 for my first set up using the stock maf. Then added the following

8rib pulley set up from vortech 526. after shipping. (still needs installed)

Innovators west 18% overdrive pulley 423 after shipping (still needs installed)

Electric water pump 287.00 after shipping. Needed for OZ crank pulley. (still needs installed)

AFM Powerpipe 250 after shipping

Bigger Mondo bypass 300 after shipping.

DIY Ebay Intercooler setup. About 450 after shipping.

SCT 2400 MAF 260 after shipping.

This is what is needed for any serious boost from a Supercharger.

So now it's up to 5684 and I'm sure I forgot something. I didn't include fuel mods and tuning because both have to have that.

If you upgrade to a bigger Sc and it will be another 1100-2600 on top of that.

I could have had a hellion kit.

I'm glad it worked out for you.

On a learning note, ALWAYS use a third party when paying for high priced items like that. Whether it be a credit card or paypal use those rather than a money order or check. My dad almost got scammed when a guy put his item up on Ebay and then took it off when my dad talked to him about it. He said if he just sent him a money order then he would lower the cost some since he (the seller) wouldn't have to pay the additional cost of the auction to Ebay and Paypal. It turns out the guy was a scammer and my dad didn't fall for the hoax. But it is always best to let that auction go through.

i was thinking the same lol.

Dude, I do EBAY EVERY DAY... BUYING AND SELLING, EVERY DAY

If you do get scammed, hopefully you paid through paypal, if so, file a claim and they will deduct the money from his account no matter if he has it in there or not. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT..... Im sure he just didnt get around to your tracking number dont worry bro.

I know this from experience, I let a friend use my old ebay account to sell a brand new motorola pebble cell phone for 400 dollars... well, He said the phone was for all carriers when it wasnt, so they took the money out of my account and the man shipped the phone back.

B0B · July 17th, 2008, 04:34 PM
