The previous 2 both decided to just slowly stop working. Not a fan of the Cobalt either so looking to try something different. I am considering trying an SPT gauge from the STi (not mine of course) just because I love the way it looks, heh. Pricey bastards though.

    Oil change

    I just rebuilt my engine, transmission and transfercase. Put it all back together with the super charger, original Tone/ Alpine $2850 I believe. It has been on for about 70k and worked great. Was wanting to change the super charger oil , any one know what to put in it?

    Manual

    I might have a manual, think it came on a CD. Do you think that you can upload yours, BeeVenom, it to the file section?

    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!

    Sorry for the thread jack but just had to say hello to Zu4two which I haven't seen around here for a very long time. Hope everything has turned around for you and all is going well. Z42 was along on a few of my very first wheeling VX get togethers!

    Alpine installed the SC kit on my 3.2V6 crew cab back in 2000. Price was around $2800 at that time. I have since done close to 120K miles without any problems with the kit. In 04, we changed the pulley and upped the boost to 0.4bar. I still have the M62 blower on mine and would love to upgrade to the new M90 kit you guys are busy with.

    That's about $3233 dollars US. Does it include shipping? And how much to the MP90s cost? Trying to determine complete cost of purchase...

    You can get an M90 off ebay for around 200-300 bucks usually.

    When I DHL'd 4 SC's from Magnusson it cost me $600 so I would think $150 would cover air shipping
    The answer is more power! What was the question?

    Due to Alpine stiffing us on the one part we cant replicate (got 8 manifolds instead of 10) we only have 8 on offer. Four have sold locally since yesterday

    Dont take too long Gus!
