Vortech Aftercooler (Upgraded parts)
$900 plus half of shipping!! If you are interested in an upgraded aftercooler setup, let me know. I have yet to use it and most items are in the box. It won't be cheap just an FYI to all the lowballers
but at the same time, i don't necessarily have to get rid of it. It is used and I bought it from a member on this board. I never used it and have plans to throw it on my car once everything is about ready, but might consider selling it if I can get back what I paid for it which was $1200.

A picture and a better description would help you sell it much faster. "Kit" is a very vague word.
And you might want to keep dropping the price, until you hit the range for used intercoolers. Just to give you an idea, I paid $180 for mine, including 3" pipes, boots and shipping.

P.S.: Badass TA!

Thanks for tips Big, here is a pic: http://s114.photobucket.com/home/ponyackn and a description of what is included:
* the aftercooler unit
* all tubing from the blower aside from the 90* elbow Mine has already been cut to fit the after cooler tubing, so that will save you time and you can keep your stock elbow untouched.
* an UPGRADED Shur-Flo pump that will kick the crap out of the pump that Vortech supplies you with. This thing ROCKS!
* an UPGRADED water tank, Vortech P/N 8N105-010
* an UPGRADED super-duty sized heat exchanger, 3x the size Vortech supplies. Helps cool the water/antifreeze much better.
* all hoses, clamps and fittings that I needed to use, PLUS all the ones that are new that I did not. You get it all. We're talking probably over $100 in hoses/fittings/connectors alone.
* heat shield jackets for the unit and one of the tubes.
* original Vortech instruction booklet.
The previous owner stated about 4k miles on the setup and about $2200 invested.
Sorry, I won't be backing down on the price much further than this. Some people (TA owners esp.) don't want to hack up the front end for a front mount, and A2W setups perform equally well when set up right and for the right applications.

Ah, that's a liquid cooled setup, that's definitely worth more than my air-to-air simple intercooler.
The Shur-flo pumps sure kick a**, I know first hand, I got two. Why does this system utilize a high-pressure pump with a shut-off switch instead of a higher-flow low-pressure pump?

Not trying to be a jerk, but I can get this new from Summit for $950 (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/VOR-8N201-020), are you able to come down on the price at all?
