Does anyone here ever visit other forums? I was over at www.mustangforums.com and found this link...

http://www.mustangforums.com/m_3332042/tm.htm

It is a thread listing part #'s from www.superchargersonline.com that could allow you to piece your own supercharger together for cheap. One guy did it for less than $1500! I thought it was kinda interesting and thought I would share this with the :SNSign: faithful!

idk, might be worth it if you're doing it for 50% of the cost. Especially if you have the time and patience to do it.

not really, a lot of that stuff you'd need to put together anyways
but don't forget a new MAF injectors and maybe fuel pump tho

The hard part, and maybe expensive part, would be finding the head unit. It could be real cheap for some people, if they already have a fuel pump, MAF, and/or injectors.

Wow- This is awesome. I always thought buying a complete kit would be cheaper. It would be great if I could purchase the kit in pieces and not blow all that cash at once...

Thats some seriously great info for the builder on a budget, one part at a time is easier and cheaper than blowing a wad of cash all at once, most of us cant hold on to more than 3000$$$ in our pockets ! hahahahaha thanks for the write up I LIKE IT ALOT !
