Heres a guy on ebay selling vortech sq-trim kits for $1,500 with no reserve. The kit comes with a aftercooler. I thought the compressor and the after cooler alone cost like $3,000. Is there a catch. Just trying to make sure cause it seems like a good deal

I'd stay away...new member to E-Bay, 0 feedback reviews. Not his own pictures of the S/C, just pics from the vortec website. Cynical, I know, but hey, sometimes it pays to be...

Yeh, i noticed that. One more thing, it says 01-02 gt, my car is a 03 gt. Is there any difference in the kits from vortech.

i agree. ask for real pics with a newspaper or something to verify the authenticity. if you do buy it, make sure it is with PayPal.

00-04 is the same.

I'd pass on that deal.

I'm going to send the guy a message about buying one of these in person. I'll let you know how it goes. I can't see sending someone with ZERO feedback 1500.00 for an item that costs twice that.
