Stillen Supercharger reliabiity

Good read in this thread and nice numbers Nissan370

As much as I love turbo I have been leaning towards a Stillen Supercharger myself just in terms of reliability, maintenance and cost. Not saying a Turbo can't be as reliable, I just imagine the SC to be more forgiving in that aspect.

Id be happy with power in the 400-440 WHP and mid 300's for tq

seems like a good tune is key no matter what application you go with.

Since this is my daily driver, I agree with this. Can anyone identify what the base cost of having this completed runs? I'm guessing about 8k?

$8800 for me, but I paid full price for my kit from Stillen, you might do better and the install was high as I was the first 2013, so 8K seems doable.

thats some serious $ for as problematic as this has been for you; which I'm sorry to hear. this is exactly why I've stayed away from this option so far. If I dish out 8k, I expect to pick up my car working perfectly.
