You can problly get a few grand out of the kit. Just all depends on if your going to take the kit off or pay to have it . The cost or removal might be about the same as the kits worth. Not to sure. May want to call the shop that installed it..

Not worth the removal. As Buckeye said used will probably be worth less then the cost of removal. Even if you take it out yourself you might have a hard time finding a buyer as you might of missed a part on removal or something.

Plus you have to do slight mods to the car when installing. Therefor when selling the car, the buyer might be hesitant buying if they notice holes in places they shouldn't be or things shaved off in certain places because of the supercharger that use to be there.

You will probably have better luck just upping the price a little bit of the sale of the car and say its professionally installed supercharger installed on it. And if you got the warranty from stillen then you have 3 years warranty as well. So that's all good!

Thanks for the advice. I do have the stock parts still.

You know I had this supercharger installed by broadway performance in passaic n.j and you try to do as much research on a shop as you can and I talked to a few of his customers but the car was never right. He couldnt tune a moped if he had to.When I needed the cable for the uprev tune he wouldnt give it to me.

Thanks for the post. I'm in Jersey so I know not to go to that shop. There's a shop in south jersey, performance motor vehicle that I have heard is good. Never tried them though.

^^^ My thoughts too.

You will always sell the car easier without the mods, and get more in return for a good used charger if you keep EVERY part intact.

Here is what people are missing, first you had to pay to put it on the car, now paying to take it off. Then you loose money because its used. By the time you factor all in you are going to loose even more money and it won't offset what you are going to recoup. Better off leaving it on the car.

I've had 2 supercharged cars that I've bought and sold in the past. From my experience I'd try posting the car here complete with s/c installed. Might also try modified car trader 370z.com and g35 forums. Make a detailed post with several good pics , dynos with afrs are ideal. Give it a few weeks, it'll take longer than a stock car , but the right buyers out there. and don't even think about trading it in, youll be insulted.
