Default Whats missing...

I bought a "complete" procharger kit off of here. I may be putting things together the wrong way, but it seems like there are some couplers missing and the blower has to be clocked the wrong way from the pipe it is supposed to go into...

im about certain that is a standard rotation blower... it wont work unless you have some special brackets to turn it around.. then space becomes an issue. Call procharger tech support and give them your serial number, they will tell you what you have. You need a RR or reversed rotation..

Your volute need to go the other way for RR.. like this..

The charge pipes look right except a few missing couplers, the radiator cradle, intake/filter, etc. The Blower does appear to be standard rotation however

Bob at BruteSpeed can help with Procharger Parts. Does it have a bracket for the blower? The A&A brackets are much better than the procharger ones Flip drive, direct drive, etc are awesome too.

A&A v2 bracket here http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-p...nsboro-nc.html

They now have a v3 bracket but the 2 is pretty darn good. I have it with 9-10psi and no belt slip. if you get it and a correct blower feel free to PM me for tips when installing belt etc.

Return it. That is not a standard kit. Obviously cobbled together to have the appear of a y-body kit.

Great. Bought it off here advertised as a "complete" A&A kit. I knew it needed the crank pinning kit, the radiator cradle, and the radiator shroud. It was supposed to be complete otherwise. Pipes are full of rust, all the parts were thrown in a box, inter coolers showed up with one row crushed on each, the air filters are crushed, and now this.

I see where it came from man. You have a lot of work and parts to ge to make this thing work. I for sure wouldnt use those clamps on what you have it in. If the guy wants to act as good as he ran his mouth in his post about the guy talking about the price. Let see if he makes good on this. Robert

Well the first thing I want to say and have said many times to Horps27 through this whole ordeal is that I’m very sorry! I bought this kit in November 2013 from another board member Veneno here is his original for sale ad

"Just removed an A@A procharger system for 97-up c5 corvette
Comes with the newer a@a mounting bracket, P1SC1 headunit, 3.3 pulley, newer version twin intercoolers, blow off valve, new 60lb fuel injectors from a@a Complete kit with very low miles and clean. Please
contact me for more info and I can email pictures. I can do $3100 shipped or $3000 picked up I am in Maryland. Thanks"

Another response from Veneno concerning my questions about the kit?

"Ben,

It’s got a 3.3 pulley so it's making around 12 pounds of boost. The owner has a 01 Z06, stock motor, long tubes and corsa exhaust he made 605 rwhp. Yes definitely upgrade your fuel pump,tune and your good to go. I will send you pics in the morning you are first in line will wait to hear back from you after I send you the pics. Thanks "



I was waiting for my engine bulid before I installed it so when I got it I looked in the box everything was there and never looked at it again until I decided to sell it and took it out for pics but never laid it out to make sure everything was correct. I have sent several emails to Veneno with no response!

There is no one to blame here really but myself I should have checked everything out before my own purchase of the kit but I did want to make sure to make it right for Horps27 regardless!!! I trusted the guy I bought it from and Horps27 trusted me I wanted to make sure in everyway I honored that!

I sent Horps27 money to send head unit back to Procharger and to cover him on the missing clamps/boots/ and a filter. I talked to Tyler at Procharger trying to find out just what we had.. come to find out the head unit was for a GM truck and was standard rotation there was no way in hell it was ever on a C5!!

I sent Procharger $802 to cover converting the head unit to C5 specs and shipping it back to Horps27.

Ive learned a costly lesson and I really hate that involed Horps27. I can't thank him enough for his patiance and understanding in this mess!

Way to step up, blm!

Stuff happens beyond our control and, despite our best intentions, there are always folks out there looking to take advantage of others. What defines us is how we respond.
