Boost dilemma

Ok I have two choices


Kit 1: V2 sc with less than 10k miles on it.... includes 2 pulley sizes smaller than the stock one, danny's idler aluminum, fp and boost guage.

Kit 2: nearly a grand cheaper than kit 1, but is missing certain fittings that i'd need to order from stillen. Rebuilt blower by Vortech. That's all the info I know for now.


Opinions? Suggestions?

I'd like to know what other probs an sc can have besides the idler pulley melting?

Yes i've searched so don't mention it

go with #1, that way you will have piece of mind that everything is included. You sure are going to a lot of trouble, spending all this money just so you can keep up with me
