depends on how many miles, a used mechanical part should be about half a new one. The debate between turbo and super is ongoing even in the pro racing world (I love watching the IHRA races between the 2)

well a 9psi vortech S/C kit can hit you up about 150hp...which is from mabe a stock 310-320hp to a 460hp-470hp, estimate...but dont take my word on it, this is what I've read up on them. I would truly think it would be more around 420-430 hp.
Ironicly, i just read the e-bay site on the vortech S/C and i was almost dead on with the ho numbers and psi.

I have the turbo, wastegate, and intercooler from my turbo setup sitting in the basement if you want it. PM if you're interested.
I even have a boost gauge if you need one of those, too.

So you took the kit off your 97 before you sold it?

So yes, I still got it, albeit back at home. Just the turbo, intercooler, and wastegate. The piping is long gone.
Oh, and backpressure = torque. Torque = fun ****.
