Thumbs up Buying used F/I application wise choice or not *?*

I'm debting would it be worth the cost to buy a new F/I application as oppose to buying a used one and saving money? If I was willing to buy any used F/I application which one should it be? What problems could each one of the F/I applications oppose as a threat or problem in the future that is underlying? If you was willing to buy any F/I application, what order would you choose and what brand? TIA

I sold my Stillen used and helped the guy install it. He was totally happy.
I wouldnt buy turbos used... 90% of the time you will be missing parts.

My order:
Turbonetics
Vortech SC
Stillen

How safe is a vortech compared to the stillen? I know both give 3yr warranties.

Buy a used FI application only if the buyer guarantees that they'll pay for missing parts. That's what I plan on doing. I'm even considering sending my used kit (polished S/C with ~4500 miles) to Vortech to have them go through the kit to make sure it's complete, add the necessary parts and send me the bill. Of course I'd have the new buyer pay for shipping the blower to Vortech and I'd pay to have it shipped to his/her house.

edited: also, the person who buys my kit will probably save $750 - $850 on the kit and I'd probably be willing to give up another $250 or more on the gauges, pod, shift light, etc...
