Un-supercharging the R8!

[GaryNoGrip]

Not getting a lot of joy with the sale of my VXR8, not even any silly offers other than a banana vette lol, so looking into returning to stock, it's not worth much less that way and I get a very cheap harrop 122 for my garage!
Will be looking for a ls2 manifold and air box/intake, ecu back to standard I know but anything else I have missed?

Thanks Gary

Gary is right. Leave as it is. Don't de-S/C it. More chance selling as it's current spec

Gary, it's high mileage, so without the supercharger will only achieve £12-13k. What will you get for the supercharger? You'll also have to factor in the cost of taking it off, and re-tuning the engine.

As others have said, leave it on, and be patient.

did someone suggest sale or return? Oh yeah that's worked well recently, go for it...

I've used SOR many times, and have never had a problem - though it has always been with a dealer that I've known for a long time, rather than someone that rings me and offers to sell it.

Gary if you can hold on, I'd take the ad down and keep the car for sale later in the year, May would be a good time to go for it. Folk wanting something nice for the summer or drop the price a bit as the miles are unfortunately going to put the british idiot buyers off

Thanks all, good for thought!
Just the longer it sits next to the ute the more I think of the obvious upgrade!

will an ls2 charger fit an ls1?
