Any interest in a Used Hahn Turbo with a twist?

  • I'm not sure if it would be allowed, but I'm sure there's a way to word it to make it pass the sniff test. I have my used Hahn Turbo Stage 2X system (Precision turbo, external waste gate, Billet Blow-off valve etc) listed in the marketplace for sale for $2500 and there has been no inquires so far. I just had a thought. I'm sure there are people who would love to have it, but for one reason or another, the timing isn't right or the cash flow won't allow for a mod of this price range. Would there be any interest in some sort of lottery style drawing for a chance to win this? I would reserve the right to cancel this promotion if less than 20 people bought into it, and would limit the pool of applicants to less than 30 people. For a small fee of $100, you would have between a 3% to 5% chance to win this system (minus the ecu reprogramming). I haven't worked out all the details, but it would be done above board and the winner would have a fully functioning turbo system for less than the price of a set of tires.


    If there's any interests or comments either way, please post them here. If there's no interest in this or the comments are all negative, i will withdraw the idea and ask to have the thread removed from the forum.

    Just some food for thought, and I'm not saying the raffle is a bad idea, but I think you would get a lot more traction and potentially get what you're asking for it over on the dreaded FaceBook. I would post that into a few of the facebook groups. Specifically Slingshot Owners Group (SOG) https://www.facebook.com/groups/SlingshotOwnersGroup/ , Strictly Polaris Slingshot https://www.facebook.com/groups/strictlypolarisslingshot/ , and Polaris Slingshot Forums https://www.facebook.com/groups/PolarisSlingshot/ . Those 3 groups have high member counts and are the most active members and pages from my experience.


    I would also post it up on FaceBook Market Place, and the pages slingshot custom parts tip and tricks https://www.facebook.com/groups/2069918476645892/ and slingshot buy sell trade https://www.facebook.com/groups/1070951052971062/


    I think moving it at $2500 may be difficult since both ZZP and DDM offer new kits with tuning around the $3k mark but that doesn't mean that someone won't jump on your kit. While I post new products here first and enjoy this community a lot more, a good majority of the members here are already modded and there is a significantly larger pool of new owners looking to mod on facebook. And if we are being honest, a LOT of the mods in our market are grossly over priced and everyone, including myself, is always looking for a deal on something which is where your kit would be a no brainer for someone looking to go turbo at a lower than normal cost. Again this is just my 2 cents helping you to get what you want out of it. Good luck with the sale.

  • Thanks for the thoughts Kyle. I don't use Facebook and won't be signing up just to try their market place. I know there are a cheaper turbo kits out there from the cheap eBay specials from $1500 all the way up. This is not the low dollar entry level system - heck just the turbocharger itself is $900 without the waste gate, BOV or any of the rest of the items. The exhaust system that comes with the system is a $900 add-on. If ordered from Hahn as this system is configured, it sells for over $5100. That is also without the ecu reflashing. So my used one at less than half the price IS a good deal for someone that wants a great deal on a Precision Turbo system


    That's the great thing about this community. One product doesn't have to fit everyone's needs. Some people are happy with an entry level stage one low boost system others want to push it up to the 300 HP range, and others have to have the forged internals at 500 HP. They are all happy with what they have. Mine gives them a half off option or if enough people want to give it a try, someone could end up with it for $100. That's the deal of the century

    Damn... I might need to sign up for Facebook... 😔 😭

    Again, I'm not bashing your post and I don't think what your asking is a bad deal. I'm just painting a bigger picture and trying to help you get some traction in a different "showroom" with new owners is all. If you would like to email me some pics and a description and location, I'll post it for you with your email so they email you directly to make the sale. Just trying to help. My comment wasn't meant as a personal attack if that is how you took it.

    Kyle, no thoughts about you bashing me ever entered my mind. i don't think you have that in your personality to do that. You're a straight shooter and don't stir the pot. I just wanted to assure anyone who read the comment to know that there is a difference between systems that go far beyond the price one pays

  • I'm not sure if it would be allowed, but I'm sure there's a way to word it to make it pass the sniff test. I have my used Hahn Turbo Stage 2X system (Precision turbo, external waste gate, Billet Blow-off valve etc) listed in the marketplace for sale for $2500 and there has been no inquires so far. I just had a thought. I'm sure there are people who would love to have it, but for one reason or another, the timing isn't right or the cash flow won't allow for a mod of this price range. Would there be any interest in some sort of lottery style drawing for a chance to win this? I would reserve the right to cancel this promotion if less than 20 people bought into it, and would limit the pool of applicants to less than 30 people. For a small fee of $100, you would have between a 3% to 5% chance to win this system (minus the ecu reprogramming). I haven't worked out all the details, but it would be done above board and the winner would have a fully functioning turbo system for less than the price of a set of tires.

    Let me know if you get 2 people interested in the used kit. We have had a used HAHN kit here for a couple months for $2000 and so far, no sale.


    If you do the raffle, maybe we could sell a couple more tickets and have 2 chances to win. :thumbsup:
