Calling it quits for a while
A turn of events has made me decide to sell off the custom Vortech all cog pulley supercharger system . My girl friend has been laid off and we are in the middle of putting a large set of steps off our deck , re-roofing the house on Saturday , and a new sea wall put in a 3 weeks. All this work is costing me upwards of 20 grand . We have the money to cover this work , but will be scrapped afterwards . I have some of the latest work done on the car [ Haltech and tune ] and put it on a credit card . Im selling off the SC system to cover this bill . Im not a person that has credit card bills that dont get get paid right away
I had just had the Haltech installed and tuned to 487whp and around 400lbs trq. on a AT5 tranny . On the load based dyno he couldnt get it to red line on a power pull [ to get a dyno chart ] with out chewing the teeth off the blower belt . I was going to take it to a DynoJet next week to see if I could get it to 6800rpm . But instead I wanted it to be more solid of a set up and had just ordered boost limiter valves that Quamen suggeted http://www.928m.com/parts/boostlimitervalve.php With these on the IC pipe and adjusted to around 16psi . Im sure all the belts will hold till redline . And smaller pulley's that I have can get it to 16psi sooner . As of now , I think its at 16psi at around 5800rpm .
SO...all is for sale ..... Vortech's race version of the T-trim blower [ race gear box and bearings ] .... Custon all cog pulley set up....3 inch IC pipe from IC to plenum....Mondo BOV.... Icevex IC40-M 24+12+4 intercooler...2 of the boost limiter valves in link above . And a couple extra blower belts.And extra pulleys
I paid $3600 for the blower and cog pulley system alone . Im asking $3500 for it all . Not including shipping.
It was hard to do this , as I have a lot of time and cash in this thing . Hell this last time in the shop has cost me around as much as Im asking for the whole thing . Maybe in a year or so I might be able to put something back on it . But with the house hold income cut in half , things will not be the same for a while .
A couple people have PMed me asking where they can get a cog set up . Well here is your chance .

I feel you bro... my wife got laid off about 8 months ago and it is hard when house hold income get cut in half (in my case cut in 2/3..lol) coz my wife make almost double as mine). Good thing I was able to carry the load for 2 months until she got a new job. If you are going back to modding again then try to find another way to produce that $3500 you'll make from selling the parts coz you'll end up buying it again down the road at full price. Economy is a little bad so finding a job may not be as easy but see if you can hold on for a month before you give up everything...good luck

The Haltech basicly has to stay on . No way to control 850 injectors with out it . Some time down the road something will go back on the car and I will need it then . I love the car..N/A ...or boosted . So driving it with out boost is ok for now .
good luck !

Thanks guys !
the idea is to get everything squared away , see where we are at with money and bills . Maybe a year or so down the line we can put something else on . Thats why Im not going back to totally stock and keeping the Haltech in place running the car . If need be , it can be taken out if thats what it comes to .
