I posted this Kit for Sale earlier but it was still on the car. Since then TPC has removed the kit and returned it to me so I could post pictures.

The Kit was on a 2005 Carrera S "Launch Edition". The car is currently at TPC having their new single Turbo System installed. I really liked the Supercharger on the car. It had a very smooth power delivery and never gave any problems. The VF Engineering Kit is a great power adder and has a progressive power delivery when driving. I rarely noticed that the car was anything other than stock.

I was looking for more options when adding power to the car. The supercharger would need different pulleys in order to get more power when I wanted it. With TPC, I will be able to turn a **** at a red light and have an extra 50hp immediately.

The kit is in great shape with a small rub spot on the supercharger itself from the engine lid cover. If you look closely at the picture of my car in the TPC Turbo thread you can see where they rubbed each other.

I am selling it for less than half of a new one from VF Engineering. You will need to send your ECU back to VF for a flash which is part of the reason. TPC also decided to use the front radiator for cooling. A new replacement can be purchased for $184 from Pelican Parts. All you need then is some rubber hoses to have a complete kit.

If you have been following CATTMAN and his very detailed install of the VF SC KIT he purchased, it should not be to hard to DIY.

As stated earlier the price is $6000 shipped.

Thanks,
Adam

 

Hey Adam,
Just to help you out so whoever you sell this kit too doesn't get upset with you..........

Don't forget that you will need the water pump/relay and some wire to push the water through the IC lines!
I also noticed you are missing the main vacuum line in the pic,you may want to get in touch with VF for that too.....it is a pricey part!
Once it is complete this IS a great price for adding power.....I know I spent almost this much on exhaust alone.....and this WILL add power!

GL with the sale,

Stacy

 

Thanks Stacey,

I am sure TPC has those parts in a box somewhere next to the car. I will check this week and post the results when I get the answer from Tom Chan.

Adam

 

Man, wish this was 996

 

Hey Stacey,

I spoke with Tom Chan and he assured me that he does have the parts that are not shown in the original picture.

I am getting them next week and will post pictures.

The third radiator will still have to be purchased separately.

Thanks,
Adam

 

bump for a good SC

 

I am sure someone knows a friend who wants an extra 125 or 150 hp for a great price.

Adam

 

Is there any way to make this fit a 2000 996 C2? If so I am very interested.

 

That would be a question for VF themselves. I do not know enough about the kits they offer to make the call.

Good luck!

 

seen this SC kit in action on dyno,

made a good amt of power, very nice kit for budget!

someone should jump on this!

 

Anyone from VF out there qualified enough to help us ascertain compatability for this kit?

 

The VF-E SC is the best mod there is, and used kits are pretty rare. I've seen used kits go for as much as $7,500 complete, and Adam's, even with the extra parts I note below, is well below that. Any kit will require the ECU tune, so don't factor that in for comparison.

As Adam notes, this kit needs a few parts:
-Goodyear coolant lines ($400 from VF-E)
-Bosch extra quiet water pump
-OEM center radiator ($184 pelican)
-OEM front radiator adapter/ shroud ($29 suncoast)
-VF-E main vacuum line (cost unknown)
-VF-E GIAC ECU tune ($1000)
-Optional smaller pulleys for more power are about $80 each

Someone should jump on this, come on!
With a 3.4" pulley and some other minor tweaks you're at near 500 hp, very linear and easy to drive. I've fallen back in love with my car after this!

Just to help Adam and whoever buys this, I will offer my help on install via parts list, tips, etc.

Good luck with the sale, Adam. I'm here to help whoever buys it with the install.

VF rocks! no regrets with mine.

 

Dibs!

 

Thanks Cattman,

I am getting some parts and almost have a complete kit.

I am not the guy who sells something and then the buyer says what the #$^& !!!

I have been on the receiving end and did not like it!
