Default Video Props to Vortech!!!

After almost 2 years of hard service, a piece of my coupler went through my T trim and damaged the impeller blades. I was trying to make a run this past weekend, and Mike and Jamie at Vortech made that possible with their excellent customer service and turn around time.
I'm sure the blower would have been good for a bit yet, but since it was apart they replaced the bearings and redid the seals as well as replace my impeller blade. I'm good to go for a while now!

It's good to have full boost again!!

Thanks again to Vortech!!!
JB

Great Customer Service from Vortech!!

When I sent my Procharger to ATI... they sat on it for a month.. and then decided to finally fix it for me...

Guess thats why EVERYBODY is changing over to Vortech!!

Vortech's customer service rules. Years ago, on my old mustang gt, I had a oil fitting break when I was tightening it ( damn those dumb-bells and barbells). I made a call to Vortech, and they not only sent the correct oil fitting, they also threw in a braided stainless oil feed line at no cost. If I ever decide to supercharge this Corvette or any other in the future....it'll be Vortech Supercharged.
