Question Thinking of selling my TPC high pressure kit...thoughts?

Hi.
I have a Boxter S which I will be selling and has the TPC kit installed.
I welcome opinions/ideas about selling the car with it or the kit separately.
Thanks.

Well, either way here is how I look at it:

Selling the car WITH the turbo kit is going to be a really big pain, everyone will think its been raced, tracked, etc and it will maybe even bring the value down. Maybe a savvy buyer on the forums would see it for its value though? Either way, you usually don't get much money for mods when selling.

Selling the turbo kit, maybe you could get 6-7 for it?

Personally, I'd never buy a used turbo kit. Its around 18k for a full setup, why try to save a couple k on a very important part? A used turbo can blow a motor depending on the situation.

They have a stage 1 and a stage 2 where they upgrade the turbo, add headers and a map switcher etc. I thought normal boost was 4.5 or so, 6 sounds like stage 2 but I could be wrong . Why are you thinking about leaving this setup / the boxster?
