Is it a V1 or a V2 Stillen kit ??

V1 will be a loud blower kinda like a roots blower sound off a mustang and the V2 will be quieter...V1 mounting plates are steel and V2's are aluminum

You can always send the blower off to Vortech, and for a few hundred bucks get it rebuilt... good as new!

I had cash in hand for a33s blower and never really heard from him. Is that the one you are seeking?

Are you able to be in contact with him?

OK now with the general stuff.
Make sure it is a very well known respected person on the org.

I would research the person and get references. Make sure the seller does not have a history of selling damaged goods as new.
Donate to the ORG (if you have not already) so you can search every post by user or at least every thread started by user.

This is a major purchase you do not want to be disappointed with.

If it is very used and has been passed on by 4 people, tuck away some money to rebuild it. You can then upgrade from V1 to V2 while you are at it.

I hope that helps. I do not want to scare you away by any means, but I have been ripped off over $2000 on here over the years.

Make sure the person who is selling you this kit is friendly and answers all your questions. I have people IMing/PM/emailing me about other kits. Those are not my kits so I can only give them a brief description of what a kit consists of. There are many reputable members here. Just have to ask. If someone is trying to sell something over $2500, I am sure they will be more then willing to give you their phone numbers to answer any questions. They should also provide you with pictures or maybe a video etc....
