Hey all,
I have a customer that had a mishap and their top hat and stock electrical connection were trashed. Consequently the core is incomplete and no good to upgrade as is. Not wanting to hit them with a core charge, I thought of a plan.
A few of you have installed your own 450's (or had somebody else install them) with Gates hose and drilled holes in your buckets or removed your venturi. Some have contacted me about swapping out your bucket for a stage 2 but given your core is no good your only choice was to buy a new bucket and didn't want to do that.
Well, here is your opportunity. Since this bucket and venturi are stock, we can make a complete core for somebody to upgrade. :awesome:
If anybody is interested in this...contact me. The stage 2 upgrade will be the standard $405 + $150 core charge. Once you send back your top hat and electrical connector, I will refund the $150. I'll write off the core assembly but 2 of you will have gotten upgrades out of it...make sense?
...and before somebody asks....I'm sorry but I do not install used 450 pumps...you will get a new pump, filter, and complete assembly just like anybody else. You can then sell your old 450 pump or what ever.
On a side note....if you have been in and out of the tank a lot...verify the female pins in your power connector to the topside of the top hat are not stretched out and making a poor connection or you may end up with this issue.
