1st Gen Supercharger

Are these even worth it? do they come with everything i need? should i get plugs and injectors too? can you hook up a boost gauge to these? ive searched and read gadgets site, couldnt find what im looking for.

any general advice is welcome also, thanks.

A locker may be a bit more helpful. If I had open diffs the LAST thing on MY mind would be a SuperCharger.

???

You can hook a boost gauge to anything with vacuum lines

From what I've heard the 1st gen charger is just a bit more noisey...I think gadget has some info about the longevity of it on his site.

I guess it depends on what is a really good deal on the S/C you can buy a new one for $1700. What are they asking?

If I was going to do it again I wouldn't. But it depends on what you want and are willing to spend. I kind of made up my own mind as I had no replys to my questions.
