Default gtm supercharger

ok so i have been doing research here and i see a lot of ppl have been screwed by gtm and they have filed bankruptcy. I also know i will not let them do work on my car. But they are the only ones who have the ability to keep the oem hr covers and basically keep it looking stock. ( the stillen is ugly as sin) is it possible to buy just the supercharger kit still?

I would say that your only option is to find one used. I'd love to get the GTM vq35de kit myself, but as far as I know there are no vendors selling the kit.

GTM stands for Grab That Money which is their business model right before they cut all ties with you.

If you have an Hr you need to do a TT as you will be limited power wise on a SC. TT will cost a little more but will have more power capabilities with a simple wastegate spring change (see my sig)

Also, considering my fitment issues I would not go with anything from GTM. Right now the Hr is in FI purgatory, but there are a few companies that are developing options. Maybe Greddy, AAM, and a few ransoms I've seen on FB posts. You need to pay a little more and go one of those routes. You will come out much happier in the end.

Thought about making a similar kit than GTM with c38-92, but it reguires several custom brackets and machining isn't cheap. Engine is coming out anyway, but it looks like too much work. I guess I'm stuck with my HKS kit for now. Hopefully someone would come up with a c38-92 based kit for the vq35DE. Turbo is not an option in my country due to legislation.
