Taking out Vortech Blower
I have to send in my blower due to some bad bearings and my question is will i be able to take out the blower and install a filter and be able to drive the car? Do i have to do anything about the tune? Is there anything else I'd have to do? The reason i ask is Vortech says it takes 2weeks and i cant be without for that long. TIA

It may have been to tight which caused the bearings to go bad.
Why would i have to go back to the stock belt? It isnt directly connected to the blower. I figured the main belt will still rotate the cogged supercharger belt but there wont be any charger to spin.

If they dont need you to send in the Jackshaft . You can just add a filter to the end of the IC pipe and run fine . If you have larger injectors it will more than likely run really rich when you try to give it to much gas at once .
Vortech says two weeks . Expect up to a six week wait to get your blower back .

Whatever you do, don't run a filter on one of the IC pipes if you're using bigger injectors. I was running 550cc and when I took out my blower and put in a filter on one of the pipes I was running super rich. So rich, in fact, that my fuel trim became pegged and my exhaust was smoking from too much fuel. I actually had carbon flakes coming out of my tailpipes and my exhaust sounded like it was about to explode. It also smelled like burned gas.
