I bought mine directly from Alpine, back in September 2002 for $2600. Since then I've replaced the blower with a rebuilt one that John from Alpine just happened to have. I also went through 3 EGR blocks and am on my second tension pulley bearing. Good news is my VX has 180K miles on it, with 115K of that supercharged. I finally got tired of messing with stripped out threads on my EGR block and had a machinist friend of mine make a block out of ductile iron.

It looks like you guys are really close to getting this thing done.

Way to go!
