What do you think a used TPC 993 supercharger/intercooler kit might be worth? I was guessing that it might be worth roughly half of retail, but I have no idea what demand there might be for it, which could affect the price.
Thanks!

Why not just leave it on the car? Is it a problem driver with it now? AFAIK, TPC tends to be one of the better names out there. Plus, if the build was "complete", there's a possibility that lower compression pistons might be installed to deal with the boost. Plus, there might be other changes, too, like injectors, programming, etc. De-install might not be as simple as it sounds.
I would recommend contacting TPC/Mike Levitas and pose some questions to them. If they did the install, they should have complete documentation. And if they did indeed install, maybe they would consider uninstalling and reverting to stock, and give you something towards a buyback of the hardware.
But, IMHO, unless the car is hard to drive as-is, I would simply keep it.
