Ah, ok so now suddenly superchargers are not a precision made item that is susceptible to the same laws of phisics as everything else in the universe? Saying there is no difference in a re-freshed unit and a new one is just asinine and if that was the case they would be more expensive on the resale market. My point is that buying used, precision made performance parts is always going to be a crapshoot, I learned a tough lesson on the used heads I bought by watching my bottom end go out on the dyno tuning them. Yes it is a fairly simple design but that doesn't mean that those simple parts or a small hardly viewable crack in the one of the parts might not make it back into the package and what will happen if it grenades will you be out a supercharger or a charger and a motor? When I look into used parts, I consider the penalty for failure and to me a used charger is just an invatation for problems down the line that you can't blame anyone else for causing but yourself.
Im not going to argue with you..I really dont care because your opinion is well, your opinion.
IMO, buying a used supercharger is fine due to how they are made and the fact that its a few gears and some bearings.
Yea, they are precision made, and when they are rebuilt with new internals, they are put back together precisely, otherwise they would explode within 10 miles.
