quick question about a procharger. 1500 obo good price
ok. i got a 98 silverado. its got the 5.7 and im lookin to procharge because turbo is way over my bank funding. unless i rob them. which would work. if the earth stood still for a day. but. theres a guy in my area. selling a full kit. p1sc head. tubing, fuel pump. fmu(guessing that weird looking pressure regulator), intercooler and anything else. its a full kit. its used. of course id get a rebuild on it. freshen up the pipes. do all that. but... hes selling it for 1500 or best offer. its off a 95 pickup so i know theres 2 differences. first is how it mounts to the intake. the only difference is theres a carb hat with the older version. the other difference is on the mounting plate the idler pully is of different size but in the same area. so... would it be worth it. i need to act fast. because my friend said i could prolly knock him down to 1100 or lower. i got 500 cash that was gonna go into stocks for future house/truck mods... but... procharger is sexy...

If it needs to be rebuilt, skip it. A rebuild from Procharger could run you $800-900 so you'd be better off just finding another kit.

great deal, but if you send it in to be rebuilt it will cost you a grand or more. brackets will cost 300-400 depending on how cool the guy is you talk to on the phone.but thats a steal of a price if its in good working condition. dont hesitant if your serious about it, at that price ita a steal.

That's a tough call. If you don't have alot of money to play with you may regret the purchase. In the end you're buying a head unit and intercooler since most everything else won't work with your Vortec engine over his TBI. I'd recomend checking into the cost of everything else you need first. You might be able to find a kit actually for a Vortec for around the same cost.
