Does anyone upgrade their supercharger?

M3jason · 04-12-2013, 12:31 AM

I am looking into buying a supercharger and I was wondering if it is common when people upgrade to a larger one to sell their old one?

If anyone is trying to sell a used supercharger, let me know!

Most of the time u will come across a good deal used. I know for a fact that Vf superchargers share a lot of common parts. Therefore upgrading from a 540 to 620 or 650 is a piece of cake. Give them a call

You can find some up for sale in the Private Seller Engine thread. Take a look at this link:

The owner is a good guy and its a solid deal IMO. You will also find others there but I can't vouch for them personally.

Most people when upgrading their supercharger work out a deal with the tuner as it is sometimes just a few parts that need to be swapped out. In most cases the ones you will find for sale are from owners selling theirs cars and separating the mods.

No problem Jason - you are in good hands. He's a really knowledgable guy. Taught me quite a bit when I was new to the FI M3 world.
