Supercharged Guys; anyone else need opinions
I am looking at a 00' that has had a Comptech SC kit since 50,000 miles. It is currently over 100,000 miles. Is this something to stay away from? I checked the car out, engine sounds good. I would like to get a compression test, but what should I be weary about? Stay away? Both are same price.

Definitely a compression & leak down test on the s/c one in particular (not a bad idea to do it on both). Check shaft play on the charger. I think 50k is getting up there in miles for that unit.
Personally I'd go with the '02. If it's mint you can expect it was well taken care of. The boosted engine almost certainly has less life left in it, though it may still run great for quite a while.
Just my $0.02, interested to hear what others think.

Well, I will report back the numbers on the car. I hope the car has some good numbers.
