If everything checks out make the payment if not he's bro can ship the kit back to FL.

I have been burned one to many time myself
Yeah I know That's why I wanted to do the two part deal through paypal. But if this deal is legit it would be really hard to pass up. It's not everyday you see an unused ATI Procharger for $3k.

As for the Area code, yeah it's for PA. I looked it up and Bethel Park, PA (where his friend lives. It's a suburb of Pittsburg) is in that area code. I'm assuming he moved from that area down to Florida. It's plausible my area code for my cell is 202 and I don't live in DC.

send him a deposit and ask for it to be sent to PA this way you can see everything before buying. worst case you loose your deposit better than 3k. Going to wish you went TT down the road . hehe I sure do

Better yet I could pay for half the shipping ($80 3 day air) and then see what's up.

I still think if he agrees to send me a Tracking# with the "small stuff" and I send a paypal payment that would be most convenient for me. Pittsburg is a 4 hour drive that I really wouldn't want to take.

I hope you're not buying this because it's a "good deal" and it's "cheap." If you really intended to get a turbo down the line, I'd save up and go for that instead. No point in cutting corners to get 2nd rate items especially if you initially intended on getting a turbo-kit that was only $1-2k more which would make u ultimately happy 2-3 years down the line. I see most people doing "affordable" setups now and end up changing the whole thing in a year wasting both time and money... not to mention down-time!

Nope I always had my eye on the Prochargers. That's the main reason why I don't want to pass up the opportunity to get this kit. I'm happy with 330+ hp to the wheels on stock fuel system @ 7 psi. (with a piggyback)

Awesome, I'd go for it. He's not that far away if an issue comes up.

I've been watching the FI classifieds, there have been some excellent deals as of late....tax return soon...

Good luck

Still waiting for a sponsor (Westpak) in Florida to confirm the S/C is legit.

Karl, I have a pretty close friend in West Palm who is in the car scene down there. Would you like me to make a phonecall or have him verify it for you?

I'd be kinda skeptical with the 8 posts persoanlly myself, but some people just lurk for info.

And Im definitely with Bert on this one. The ATI sounds sooooooooo sick. One of my personal favorites as well.

Dude, work your magic. I forgot you went to college in Florida. From the PMs this guy has sent me I honestly think he just wants to get rid of this (I've already PMed him this thread a couple of days ago). PM me your friends info and I'll pass it along.

I could be wrong, but I thought both IC inlets/outlets were on the same end tank-found on the drivers side for the Procharger. It also uses a flexible rubber black hose for the charge piping, that doesnt look like the Z kit, but again what do I know.....

Ok I found the exact pic on this site that installed a Procharger on a 350Z. Pretty good numbers on this install 362 whp, 316 lbs/tq on a Mustang Chassis Dyno (Their stock engine baseline was 217 whp). I had a good laugh when they did the 1/4 mile on their dyno . They "clocked" in at 12.21s @ 113.75 mph, I guess they were too busy to find a track.

^^ thanks, I saw that kit and it just didn't look right... better check into that, this could be one of thier "universal tuner kits" hence the cheap price for a brand new kit.
