Questions for the 2K-2K1 5 speed supercharged max guys

1. Would you buy it again if you had to do it all over again?
2. What would you pay for a used one?
3. Do you wish you had held out for a turbo?
4. Do you think it runs properly?
5. Have you blown your engine or anything?

I have tinkered with the idea of splurging for the SC, but I have heard mixed reviews of the Stillen kit. I'm not sure if that's from the Auto guys who have to do the BOV crap...... Just trying to get a feel if $3000 is worth it or not.

Re: Questions for the 2K-2K1 5 speed supercharged max guys

1. Would you buy it again if you had to do it all over again?
Yes.
2. What would you pay for a used one?
Yes, that's what I did.
3. Do you wish you had held out for a turbo?
Eh... not really.
4. Do you think it runs properly?
I know it runs properly.
5. Have you blown your engine or anything?
I have blown away a Carrera and stayed about 2 cars back from a 996 turbo.

I don't know what you are talking about regarding the BOV.

Don't you have to do a VB mod or something when you have an auto or you will blow the tranny?

Yes, you should do the VB before installing the SC.

Why? What could possibly go wrong? I would consider myself a fairly accomplished mechanic.

We wouldn't want you putting coolant in the power steering fluid reservoir even though the liquids are two TOTALLY different colors, right? Hehehehe

WOAH! Why did your cough cough cough Tanman thing not show up until I highlighted it? Am I the only one? The screen appears to be blank, but if I highlight the bottom of your post, it shows up.

And maxi-overdose, Climax was pushing me to buy it and that's what prompted the post...... Tempting, yes........
