Default 600$ HKS supercharger??

Hey guys, I know the saying "if it seems to good to be true it is" but I figured id ask any way. Spotted this on a random search for potential upgrades to my 03 5 at.http://moddiction.com/i-544520.aspx?gclid=Cj0KEQjw_42eBRDHqcG1psmtneEBEiQAWPL8WOSQuJ eq2tjw1J6J7TPtcMcK_DWgok2Y0rzOnQCsSeUaAobn8P8HAQ and im just wondering anyone has seen this or has experience with it. I know HKS is a reputable brand but the price just seems so wrong like wise. Although it is only a 70hp gain at 8 psi which is all im looking for to het me around 300 whp. And im assuming if its all legit it shouldnt be to hard for a professional installer to get this 05-06 model to fit in my 03 correct? Comments/opinnions please? Gonna be doing more research regardless but figured id go out on a limb here

That item was input into their online product database incorrectly. That part number and price reflects just an idler pulley. Apparently they accidentally input the supercharger system description and photos in with that individual component.

moddiction is a reputable store, however i do not know how the kit is so cheap nor how well it actually works or if it even includes all of the fuel management equipment, ie fuel pump injectors etc, which you may need the 255lpf walboro and id assume at least 500cc injectors, i would think, however i would contact them and ask them, not the 350z community, they will know about the products they are selling.

A lot of stores do accidentally put wrong price on a particular item online. One time, I saw a set of Tanabe Sustec pro 7 coilover listed with correct manufacture part number for $1,100, but actually cost is $2,500. I then clicked on the item to place the order, and made payment through PayPal with the confirmation invoice. But then, the store called me back to cancel my order and apologized because someone accidentally listed the wrong price. Damn, I thought myself I was going to get that set of coilover for a steal price.

didnt say you were, i said i was... meaning "i was wondering that as well, before you posted and clarified, i did not put 2 and 2 together to make that conclusion at the time, but thought it was rather odd"

thank you for posting and clarifying it is infact a pulley.

if i would have googled the part number as trav suggested OP do, i would have noticed it as well, however i was not that worried about it as i am not the one asking about it nor purchasing it.

Sorry guys that is just an idler pulley. Picture shows the kit which is a generic picture but in the notes it lists it is for the pulley.
I wish we had a supercharger kit for $600!! That would be a good bang for the buck that's for sure but it is not possible.

didnt mean to come off as a dick, was just attempting to put an end to the topic asap just in case it had potential to spiral into a huge stupid conversation/debate
