Anyone installed an ImagineAuto supercharger kit on an S? How does it work? Any issues?
Thanks

There were a few recent threads on this. Do a search ('Search" button in the horizontal blue bar at the top) and I'm sure you'll find a lot of info on it.

Josh (JP-In-St.louis) is on this board (he is based out of Seattle now), and was our prototype 3.2L kit. His car and one of our 2.5L kits will be in the February issue of European Car Magazine.

how much does a kit like this cost? HP wise would it be better than a 3.4 conversion in a '99 w 60,000 miles?

I think the kit is 7k, plus 1500 for installation. A 3.4 swap will set you back a lot more.

The other side of the argument is that forced induction is hard on your engine and at 60k, it might not be the best move, but IA swears that its a low compression (4.5 psi boost?) and won't damage the engine. Lots of back and forth opinions on this forum about that to read if you like...

Best option, buy a new 3.8 engine and drop it in your 99, thatd only be like 30 grand, or a lot more, who knows but someones whos done it.

We have dropped the price of the 2.5L kit to 5900, and the S to 6500 as we have been able to save some costs by purchasing parts in bulk. The installation is correct.

We installed a 2.5L kit on a 97 with 77k miles on it, and it currently has over 100k miles and still going strong!

A 3.4L kit done properly will run you over 15k, and will make less power.
