Well, it's been a long road. The First time Vortech said the bearings failed the next time they said that the impellar failed now I let my mechanic keep car after re install and it blew again.After the last time I asked Vortech what is next if this blows again andthey said I would get a new one. Do I have a lemon. There is only 6k on s/c and I baby my car. I don't understand what is going on HELP!!!

 

fawk........

 

Wow, I would hate to be in your situation. I would request for a new one, then sell it.

 

I would get rid of s/c but right now I cant afford turbo set up.

 

Where is your oil return line running to???? how many pounds are you seeing with the 3.12 pulley

 

Don't know about oil return line just know it had a kink in it so it was replaced and I am running 9.9 lbs.

 

Sorry to hear about your troubles, hopefully your new blower lasts for a while!

Well do you have to return into a oil pan spacer or into the block!! it maybe because you oil line is not high enough!!! i had the same problem!

 

sucks bro sorry to hear

 

I am sorry to say that I am clueless, all I know is that it worked fine for 6k and now issues. the installer has done tons of these set ups.

 

Sorry to hear man. I hope they just give you a new one and it all works out.

 

I went through 2 bowers in less than an oil change...I Got the same lame reasons....I got pissed and DEMANDED a refund....I took a couple of weeks but I got one. I invested in the STS turbo and I have been happy-ever-after. Demand a refund....this is BS.

 

where u had it installed if u dont mind me asking??

 

Originally a guy named Jeff that did all of Avalon racing's installs. Now I go to Ballistic Motor Sports and have NEVER had an issue with quality or service. Problem is defineately not the installer, it's the product. I have seen 3 others on this site that have had same issues. Also I baby the car, more for show.

 

Any other advice? Is hp too high for s/c?
