Where to get used superchargers for our cars?

Hi all, I was thinking, hell, I'm sure many of the guys on here have upgraded from their procharger setups for example to sts turbo kits and have left the supercharge kits and shops that install these things. Where can I get used setups for a fair price? I want to get one close to december.

Are you sure that's an upgrade?

Jimmy, I have the twin intercoolers, piping and bov off of my car from when I switched to a front mount intercooler. I want 400 for it plus a few bucks for shipping. Its missing one or two pieces of tubing but nothing that cant be picked up pretty easily.

You can get yourself a bracket anywhere from 200-400. I saw a headunit go for 850 on corvetteforum the other day, couldnt believe it!

Buy my intercoolers (shameless plug), its a great way to start piecing the parts together and you WILL save significantly over shelling out XXXX for a brand new one.

And the day you see me "upgrade" to a walmart special turbo kit is the day I trade the vette for a prius.

what tubing setup is that for? procharger, vortech? Like I said, I have to wait to a little bit before december cause Im still paying back what I owe for the clutch job and full maintenance job on the car that was done very recently. Hell, i have to dish another 500 bucks out in about a week to finally finish what i started on the car.

And I hear if you buy two, they give you a rear mount turbo setup for free as part of the package.
