Saleen S281 ( Supercharger question
Good Evening,
Can someone please help shed some light on the cost to replace the Supercharger ( that comes stock ) on a 99 -2004 Saleen S281 ?
I am in the Market to purchase one and want to plan for the "Worse case scenario" if the Supercharger was to quit
Also ( total Newbie question ) - If the Super charger does go out, can you still drive the Car ( and just unbolt and remove the Supercharger?
Thanks so much for all of the help and insight

I'm pretty sure Saleen does not make that supercharger any more, so you might be out of luck . . . if I were you I would go direct to the source: Google Saleen and call them. I think they are still in business, in some form, but not sure.
To remove the supercharger you would also need to replace the intake manifold that is part of the supercharger, so no you can't just remove the supercharger. But you can probably drive the car with the supercharger idling, meaning with the belt disconnected so it is not turning.
"Department of Boost" might have some kind of replacement option, you can find them on the web.

$5200 for a total kit.

That said, I bet you could just call them and ask... might be a better option...

hmmmm . . . that current listing says "Saleen by Kenne Bell" so I think it is a KB supercharger, being sold by Saleen, likely not the old Saleen S/C? But yeah a phone call should get it sorted out.

Or it could be the old Saleen S/C rebuilt by KB
