IF you spent more time searching this forum youd see its very easy to drive around without your blower on.
all you have to do is:
-disconnect pipe from maf tube, add in a filter, box or more piping and a filter
-run the oil feed line into the return line, zip tie and check daily
-keep the throttle light and rpms low
I ran mine like that for 3 weeks without issue. Sure, i wasnt happy about having to return a blower with 700 miles on it, but thats life sometimes. Now ive got over a year on the blower, 10k miles and shes been boosting fine.
You remind me of my roommate...........he wants vendors to suck his ***** when it comes to stuff like this. Dont rush them, let them work. Youre not the first in line like you think you should be. Calling them daily to harass them = no good.

see the hard part about new product is if your talking to the guys in service we are not gonna have that info. the sales guys are the ones with all the "whats new" info. So for instance if you would have called me i probably would have said i dont think we have one for that car yet. but i still would have went and asked someone first or tried to look it up atleast.
Im not quite sure how telling some one to send there unit in to be inspected is the "worst customer service"? Is it because the person doesnt get what they want that makes it the "worst"?

You have no problem taking money from people and giving them false hopes on when there car will be fixed, why not be honest and say we have a crack pot operation and we have no idea what we are doing. You might get in a couple weeks, but hell we probally won't even get it right.......
