Some of us would actually like to purchase these used and having to research somebody's IG to find out the actually story behind a piece of "too-good-to-be-true" priced hardware is kind of annoying.

Thanks for mentioning this but my intentions are far from trying to sell a faulty kit and scamming people. I fully understand your concern. If you understand how this kit works you would also be able to understand that blown motor wont damage the supercharger kit. Its not like i over revved my engine to 10k rpm or anything plus this blower has a pretty good headroom and it would be hard for me to over rev the engine to the point the blower would become damaged. If it was a turbo that would be a different story if some or any particle was to get through the hot side of a turbo it could damage the turbine. This kit is run off of a belt which is impossible something to go through the blower to damage anything. unless someone was to suck up some object through the intake and have it sucked all the way past the inter cooler and made its way into the engine which is not my case. Rotrex unit spins perfectly fine and the rest of the kit did not result in a single scratch or damage as an outcome of the mentioned event. As you mentioned yes too good to be true price but not because its broken. I have been getting low balled like crazy with the 3k price point and decided to lower the price a bit to make the sale more fluent. I have limited time here and at this point as much as i would hate to sell it for cheap, I just need to get this kit off my hands... Once my engine is repaired, Ill be shipping my car to south korea where upon import and customs I am required to get the car inspected for safety and emissions to korean spec. Although i would love and like to take this kit with me, my car would not pass with any sort of modification done to the car that is boost related or exhaust related. hell.. im not even allowed to have my car lower than 12cm. They have very strict modification laws so unfortunately I need to sell this before i leave... Hope you understand where i am coming from.
