Reported cause
For a dealer to say not a problem is plain horse....!
Leading evidence: 'plain horse' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'plain horse' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Install couple, including my own' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

You need someone who knows exactly what to do and won't spend hours and $ changing things hoping to hit on the solution.

Slap stuff on from a kit and 'hope' it goes well is the sad default setting for most of these 'projects'.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

it can even be DD with no difference in gas mileage.
I know this isn't in my "criteria" for my first 996, but what do you all think of the color and the interior. Is it me or does the interior look orange?
Also does the supercharger worry you? and the fact that it only produced 270hp originally and now 360 with said supercharger. Didn't this car from the factory produce 316hp?

Well the easy part is that I am not far from the seller so it would be easy for me to go see the car and meet "said" seller.
The PPI would tell all.
I may be a pushover, but I still believe that there are people out there that are telling the truth.
there are a few SC people on the forum who know those systems better than most of us....
as for the color, NB is tough to capture on camera, its very nice in person....but not black which I swear i will get one day!
as for "Thoughts" - I was thinking its damn cold and rainy out AGAIN and if it rains on the next track day I am gonna be pissed!!
Seattle is a nice place and we get sun sometimes but not much compared to other places. We are a green state and it takes water to stay green. But this year has been more than even seasoned residents are able to cope with - oh well
The CEL IS a problem. Some states and provinces smog checks will not allow a pass with the CEL or codes in memory for such things as O2 sensor failures and the like. For a dealer to say not a problem is plain horse....! I say they didn't say anything of the sort.
Some indy has bodged up a supercharger install and somewhere along the line it is creating a condition that is outside of the software limits. It would be interesting to see what codes are setting off the CEL. I bet it isn't a simple or cheap fix if your in a locale that requires smog testing. Calf would be a nightmare...
The 'selling for a relative' is a default worry for me. Seen / heard too many examples of scams along these lines. There are so many cars out there that don't have 'problems' and or 'stories' that you don't have to go after these ones.
listing is still there... but has ended.

Cel light is not a by-product of the supercharger.... if its sorted out, with the SC... it can even be DD with no difference in gas mileage. Driving at WOT is a different animal however.
And you know this... how? Got a friend sorting out a blower job right now. It's NOT bolt on and drive without issues friendly. You need someone who knows these cars and knows charging to do it right. His client went through three people before he found my friend. You need someone who knows exactly what to do and won't spend hours and $ changing things hoping to hit on the solution. Just saying. Properly set up and Motronic's re-mapped and they pull all day in any range as if they were a tractor on wild drugs. Slap stuff on from a kit and 'hope' it goes well is the sad default setting for most of these 'projects'.
The install is 100% bolt on and completely reversible. Its a KIT..... fully specked out with a custom flash. Yes, you need a good installer that has done a few of them. Out of the box they drive w/o issues (including cells). Yes, you can tune them further for more power, playing with resistor values, play with pulleys, add catch cans to make them cleaner.... etc, but no tuner will sell a kit that will trigger a cell. Most likely, in the ebay ad is emissions related and not the actual SC setup. Yes, I would be curious what the codes triggered the cell. But, Im betting its emmissions. Yes, Ive installed a couple, including my own... and is tweaked nicely.
Did the flashed chip come with the kit or was that extra Fred? Don't know the kit brand that this guy showed up to my friends shop with but the replacement pulley I wouldn't put on a kids wagon. Looked ebayish to me - that got junked fast.
The ebay kit is an older EVO/VF Engineering/GIAC (EVO did the piping and mount, VF spec the blower, GIAC tuning..... most of the issues with the setup has always been with installation. Pics of your friends car as I can probable indentify it.... as for your friends car, just go to an authorized GIAC dealer, they will flash it for you.
The flash for my kit is by GIAC... came with the setup.
