Default blower install update

Just about done with the install. Should have it finished by the weekend then I have to wait till may 9 before I can get it tuned I'll be out of town on business for two weeks anyway though so it's not soooooooo bad. That's gonna be all I think about for those 2 weeks though :laughing6

Wow,

I want to drop a supercharger in to my car so bad. If I dont come up with the money I think I will just have to go nitrous.

How much is this costing you?

It would have been cheap if the guy I bought it from hadn't ripped me off.

I would have this all done for around $3500 but it's gonna cost me $5500 if he doesn't get the parts and money to me.

well, he left a bunch of parts out of the kit even after taking 3 weeks to get it to me. I had my credit card company do a chargeback and thought I had the money all back so I sent him $2200 for the parts I already had so that he would send the rest of the kit. Then part of the chargeback was reversed so I was out $1600 + plus the remaining parts.

He said that paypal has locked his account and he can't access the money but I haven't heard from the douche in over a month.

That sucks man. Did ya get that kit from E-Bay? and on another note paypal aint all that either. my wife deals with antique stuff on e-bay and there isn't any 100% safe way to deal with arseholes. e-mail communication just isn't reliable enough.

Sorry to hear that but if I was spending thousands of dollars on a supercharger kit, I would of paid the extra money to not have to deal with those kind of problems. Hope everything works out...
