I'm giving up for now. This Vortech crap has reached its point with me.
How do I make this thing run NA? Obviously take out the SS and put the stock EU back in. BUt after that...what do I have to do.

No...I will attempt to figure out what the hell is wrong with it. Actually...I'll end up taking multiple days off of work to drive to an out of town shop and pay some guy to figure out whats wrong with it b/c its evident nothing is gonna get done any other way. Yeeeeeeeah Vortech!

Raising it would work...but thats only masking the underlying problem. I'd rather spend the money to fix what the problem is. If this is 'normal', then this is the worst designed crap known to man.

If you havent done any fuel mods [ injector , return fuel ] you can just take the cog belt off with no problem . It should run fine . Just to make sure the Aux. fuel pump doesnt come on , take the fuse out of the inline fuse thing . I believe its on the red wire running back to the SS box from the engine bay

I was hoping they could send spare parts to CP Race and then I can go up there for a swap. But nope....they want me to send in my stuff and then wait for them to send it back before I reinstall. PITA PITA PITA
A f'in headache

just as said at the top if you disconnect the cog belt, and the SS box the car should run fine, and be NA seeing you do not have any fuel mods. We do this with vortech cars all the time after building the motor during a brake in period

This way you only make one trip and you get a brand new blower. In the end, it might even be cheaper if CP Racing hooks you up.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
Vortech hasn't been willing to help much....i really don't see them bucking up the labor costs. I mean...after all....it was their defective crap...why should they pay for it.

Ohh...i'm driving to Orlando today and having Next Level look at it. And see if they can spot the specific problem.
I would love CP Racing to do it but I just cannot take 4 days off of work for them to fix it. I wish I could.
You would have figured if I had it installed by an authorized dealer and something goes wrong with their crap...they would warranty the repair at an authorized dealer...including the labor. Mike at Next Level even told me that Vortech wont reimburse shipping to their place....they only pay for the way back. Another PITA.
I now know how Vortech does business and I'll be sure to let EVERYONE who is interested in a S/C know this. Caveat Emptor my friends..............

Just Take the Cog belt off. I ran my g35 for that for a couple thousand miles trouble free like that. Couldnt hurt pulling the aux fuel pump fuse but I didnt when I did mine. Dont mess with the SS box I think(pretty sure) it only is active under boost.
