that sucks I guess they cant all be perfect. But please refrain from posting your experience before the issue is totally solved, too many people lately flip out about little stuff and post it on here which in turn does major damage to the company.

Good luck though but im sure you'll be taken care of.

Sorry to hear this bro. Good luck with Vortech. I wonder if a seal and bearing completely failed.

I don't want to do any damage to Vortech here, this is the last thing I want !... if they give me what they are suppose to... like custumer service... and warranty... I will be more than happy...

If they do, for sure, every boddy here will know the great service that I had with them... and how happy I am...

But, if they don't, every time someone will ask opinion or feedback about Vortech products... for sure I will jump in it... and send some pics...

I still beleive that they have a very good product, reliable at a very good price...probably, my opinion, the best quality/price ratio on the marquet...

and even with this bad luck, I can wait to get it fixed and hit the gas again and kick some ***...

Wow sorry to see that man! I had a similiar issue with a kit here, which coincidently made a whooping 290 (Mustang) RWHP on the 2.87 pulley. The original install shop (not us obviously) had literally twisted the oil return line around three times putting the blower in which completely choked off its oil return.

yesterday, I removed the Vortech, BUT before anything, I did some tests ...and took some pics...

I first take a look on the return and the feeding oil lines... and everything was all fine...

First, I disconnect the oil return line from the oil pan... to see if we have some oil that is coming out of the Vortech... and YES... a very good flow... and I took some pics of this... I felt better after this part...

after that, I removed the Vortech

and even if I knew that the feeding oil line was ok because of the good oil flow at the return oil line, I started the car again and... as I knew, Yes I had a very good oil flow at the feeding oil line...

so now, as I know that it is not a lubrification problem, I can't wait to have some news from Injected Performance OR Vortech... To send it to them ASAP ! to solve this...

You might even have Injected Performance call Vortech about it . Seems they question shops a little less than the average joe off the street

Just to add my recent experience (oil leaking from the input shaft) after 12k miles on the blower...Blower is in transit to Vortech and we will see if and how the warranty works...The warranty certificate say's it good for 3 years with limitations that are referenced per the enclosed sheets, however the enclosed sheets has no mention of 3 years..Truly hoping not to have the problems other posters have experienced with Vortech service or lack thereof..

When you called them , they should have said if it was still under warranty or not . I've sent in two different blowers several times a piece and never had a problem with them covering it . They can be a little slow on the turn around some times though

Havent read all the posts in this thread but make sure to call Vortech and get an RA# to expedite the repair. They have an amazing warrenty on their blowers and if you overnight the blower you should get it back in 10 days. Goodluck

Good luck with everything. Did the warranty cover everything, and what did Vortech say was wrong with it?
