Its a SUPERCHARGER, not turbo.
Its mentions FAST in the title so i assume it is them.
3800 is a not a bad deal IMHO...but i think the FAST brackets were a bit weak is all i have heard ? A new bracket from MURP or Carl and i think youd be on your way? It maybe an older Vortech as well?
I dunno??

That is certainly a FAST kit. They are a good starter kit for a supercharger but only if you want to stay at 5 to 7psi. The belt routing could be better. I made one work for 1.5 years on a local 89' with no problems (after "modifying" the installation). The only reason we sold it to Mark Stahl was that the customer wanted more boost. We are at 11psi and counting on the same 89'. (using Tim Murphy's brackets, pulleys and intercooler)

For $3000 this is a realy good deal. Someone should buy it. It should produce around 50% increase. 
The FAST kits has some minor belt slipage issues, but that's actually good for the SC.

The FAST guys did a great job of proving that suprcharging works for the 928's. They just never took it to the next step in design and I believe that is where they wanted to be.
Unfortunately, when someone buys this and then they contact me to make the conversion they will have to spend more money than if they just bought a Murf928 kit from the begining. I have upgraded 6-7 of these upgrade kits so far and a few of those guys are on the board so maybe they can chime in on what they think. Besides, this kit on ebay has a V1-S Trim supercharger which has straight cut gears and is very noisy. I use V2-S Trim superchargers which are very quiet.
I'm not looking to make a sale here, just tring to give someone a heads up on what they are getting into.
