call them to confirm, she said they are going to liquidate EVERYTHING, and if someone was willing to buy them, they would sell

OK...just called and confirmed. Yes....they say they definately ARE going out of business and seem to be selling parts like its a garage sale. I asked about high boost pulleys as I figured I had better get one now while I still can? Not like the Comptech warrantee is going to be worth JACK when its all said and done....so may as well go for it now...even if I dont use it right away.

Order two and i'll buy one from you, along with your custom intake if it looks very nice.

...it's funny i just called them too and got a busy signal...i need to buy a HBP before they're all gone.

holy shit! well so much for a supercharger ... that sucks! and yet, at the same time, if things are moving faster than plasma screens in New Orleans, I better get my hands on some extra money FAST so that I get these things before liquidation prices turn into low supply, jacked-up high demand prices (like Mugen spoilers nowadays)... hot damn! time for some upgrades! QUICK!

Well...its near impossible to get ahold of anybody outside of the operator there. I left a message myself about pulleys, top radiator hoses (want a few extras), as well as service kits. Not sure if anybody has thought of this...but if you dont have service parts for this unit once you hit say 80,000 miles or something like that...its going to be almost worthless.

My guess is this will be top on the list for most of us here or should be anyway: (that are supercharged now)

Service Maintenance Kit (for when it gets worn)
Radiator Hose (thats a custom molded hose on the top you know)
High Boost Pulley (s) - they do two I think a 7# and a 9#


If we have no parts when it gets miles on it...they are going to end up being boat anchors. I am sure they know what parts are going to wear and should offer us some service kit so at least we could buy one before they go out of business.


SERVICE PARTS FOR THE BLOWER...HMMM...THAT SHOULD START A WHOLE NEW VEIN OF THIS THREAD! ANYBODY ELSE THOUGHT OF THIS YET?

I think I figured it out... XS Power took away all of their business! J/K. This sucks though, I've been calling for the last 30 minutes and I just get the sales voicemail, which is full so it can't take my message.
