2 questions for you guys, Where is your external fuel pump that came with the kit located?(same placement as mine?)
Second, How many of you guys got the Unichip with the kit instead of the SS box?
Thanks

Ya I figured, SUX. I kinda want the SS box. My Unichip is really weird. It has no map sensor so it keeps spraying fuel into my engine for no reason at random times. I also have to take it to an authorized Unichip dealer to tune it. sorry end rant.

So I talked to Vortech and they had nothing to say about all of our superchargers that went out in the past couple of weeks. They just said I will receive a call in a couple of days after they inspect it . I'm losing hope here....

purchased August 07 and it came with SS box.
My kit was missing one of the pipes and Vortech haven't replied yet!! This surely shows what kind of action I shall expect if things go wrong in future!

This is the main reason why I am glad I did things the way that I did through GTM. That way I don't have to worry about dealing with Vortech directly. And with GTM being a vendor, I'm sure they have a bit more pull than the average Joe that calls up. Sucks that the Vortech reps have to act like douche bags though.

Good news! I just got off the phone with Vortech and they will be fixing my blower under warranty (duh). Anyways, they said that it will be repaired and shipped out by this coming up Tuesday. So I should have boost again by the end of next week! Finally, we are getting somewhere . Just be persistent gentlemen, your time of glory will be soon as well .

I just dropped mine off at Vortech, they said it'll be 2-3 days..If I pushed them a little harder them maybe I can have it the next day. Mine was really ****ed up it wasn't even making any boost
