Default Non-Intercooled Magna Charger?

I'm looking at an ad on craigslist for a non-intercooled Radix for 4.8, 5.3, 6.0's. I didn't know they made such a kit, so I'm assuming it's an older version. What is the consensus on these old units? Can they be setup for a conventional intercooler setup?
Here is part of the description and some pics of the kit:
"The installation instructions from magnuson included the tensioner puller, the longer belt, the throttle bracket,the actual supercharger,hoses, and injectors.extra parts are included that were included when i bought it. pulleys and nuts and bolts. Also included is a superchip computer program for a 00 chevy p/u with 5.3 . This is the non intercooled version."




He's selling it for $1600, I'd appreciate any input on it. BTW this would be going on a 5.3, or possibly 6.0, in my thirdgen Trans Am.

That is the M90 if i recall correctly....skip it. It is too small and not intercooled. I moved this thread to the Forced Induction section for more exposure for you.

They are old and really can't support your engine, you can find a used, newer, intercooled version for a little more than $2500. I just sold a newer, used one for $3000.

just let any of the sponsors on the right know that you have an old side mount and we will work with them on the trade.
