Hi,

Ive inherited a 928 and its a bit of a project car that rightly or wrongly Im trying to see if I can get through an MOT and sold on in the near future.

Ive also as part of this managed to inherit a vortech supercharger (http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/) which comes with pulleys and wheels, some nex technology piping to get it all installed and also what looks like a dump valve.

My brother (who passed away) worked overseas and bought this stuff over time to get his project going. He seemed to catch on to a bit of an 928 scene in the USA and bought this kit from over there. Anyone any ideas on the best and most sensible place to try and pass this on? As its all American stuff Ive not seen much in the way of sensible options over here and while Im wanting rid of it Im not going to let it all go for absolutely buttons.

Any ideas would be appreciated...

Ive also got some Hypercoils springs (again from the US) though I might wait and see how the MOT goes before passing them on.

Meanwhile Ive got a set of BSA branded alloys he imported from Malaysia, not seen them on a catalogue here so not sure what type they are.

OK the Vortech is a Supercharger not a turbo. It will a name plate on it with VxX where x is a number & X is a letter. If it is in good nick & a usable spec. which the name plate will show then it is worth upwards of 500 pounds. I paid 590 for mine from the US including ship.
Pop some pics up especially of the supercharger & the wheels. Good info on the Vortech here:-http://www.capa.com.au/main.htm

Sorry for the delay with the photos and thanks for the response tr7v8...

As you can see, the vortech is a V2E and as I mentioned previously theres a load of stainless piping with it as well as a mustang pulley set.

Anyone interested?
