Ported E55 sc casing and modified intercooler

Up for sale is a ported E55 supercharger casing and modified intercooler. On the casing we ported the intake runners, sc inlet, and knife edge the sc inlet support columns. Price, I have no idea just give me an offer.

I bought the intercooler from a member here who claimed the unit was modified. After swapped it to my car I virtually saw no difference. So I had my fabricator cut it up and inspect. The unit was indeed modified, but it was such a sloppy job that we had to re-do it again. Anyway, I bought the ic for $750 then had to pay to re-modify it again. I'm just looking for $750.

The reason I'm selling these is I kinda lost interest in the car. I got the car to where I wanted to, but it's hard to improve from here on out.

Honestly, I have no idea since I've never run the case in my car. But in theory porting the casing will make the sc work more efficient.

No, just the stock core. Took out the baffles to make the ic single pass instead of triple pass. Modified the outlet to help the water escape evently.

Theoretically you should get a lot more kick when ported, but I don't think anyone's actually tried it.

Yes sir. All I see thru search was "not worth it" but no one had actually try it so I did, but now that I achieved my goal I kinda lost interest. And since I get a lot of pm on the casing for the price, how's about $500 obo? The ic price is best offer too.

There's a lot of ported ones out there. I don't know how much it helps but i do know it doesn't hurt
