+1 it's a little louder than usual but doesnt sound like a bearing at all. U need give more information. Does the sound go away at a certain rpm or gets worst? Do u lose boost?

 

it gets louder as i drive or put a load on it.

boost is fine.

i think the bearing inside is loose..

epic fail.

 

hahaahha, damn hating turbo guys lol.

Mike is teh EPIC FAIL. Hope everything gets replaced by vortech, and you better powdercoat that kit while you have it pulled off your car.

I don't know what's going on with the blower but it almost sounds like when you still an object or even a finger into a fan. Sounds uuuubbber weird kddo.

 

Procharger Ftw!!!domo

 

i sent my blower to be rebuilt 2-3 months ago.

worst experience ever.

they told me the repair would take a week. it took over 3. they assured it would be overnighted to me but they shipped it like 3 day air and it pissed me off.

i cant go without my car. i have to drive to school, work, etc. vortech is NOT understanding at all about ANYONES problems. they dont go out of their way for anyone but themselves.

 

did you get it out yet?

 

U can still drive it without the blower... just make sure to cover pipping and intercooler. It might feel laggy and slow but it runs perfectly.

 

im not even gonna mvoe the car. not worth the risk.

 

heres an update for you.

my car is NOT driveable right now. i cant go anywhere. so im stuck.

i called to speak this guy that ive been dealing with. sure.. they put me on hold. i get his voicemail. no good. i want him, not voicemail.

so i call back, she tells me shes limited in what she can do. i said, well, i dont have a car that works. you do. whose limited now? she had nothing to say. again, i ask to speak with todd.

todd armstrong, the CHEIF OF OPERATIONS, isnt even in the building. the operator told me comes in at all different times. so basically, i said, "so you all do what you want around there, and it sure does show in the work quality that you do." then she got pissy with me. so i asked for SOMEONE in charge of SOMETHING. so i SPECIFICALLY asked to speak with a PERSON, not a answering machine. thats too difficult. ive been patient. ive played by their rules.

not anymore. its my turn. im not going to be pushed around, and im not going to take this blower back. vortechs customer service basically SUCKS. flat out blows. i wish i knew this before i bought it. i would have gotten a stillen. im just going to keep calling back, until the operator is tired of hearing my voice and FINALLY lets me speak to todd armstrong... the guy who SPECIFICALLY told me to call him back. do you tell people to call you back and then ignore their calls or messages? i think not. at least in my business, thats not how it works.

ive got no problem with giving vortech a bad name like im doing now. they havent proven anything to me. the blower is 2 months old. they cant even get it right. 2 months this thing lasts?? are you serious?

please....

i believe i have the support of EVERYONE on the forum with a vortech blower.

please, if i have your support, speak up.

 

sent mine in twice, both times took 2-3 months worst customer service EVER. but they fixed for free so its all good.

 

im not worried about the cost of the repair becuase its covered under warranty.

i want a NEW blower. not this one. it has a problem and no one is admitting a mistake.

 

if vortech is reading please reach out and help out a customer. Thank you.

 

Daaaaaamnnnnnnnn.......I'm glad I paid 300 bucs re-stocking fee for my vortech after i bought it and returned it But I got the procharger after and that was fail too HKS FTW!! Till this day not 1 problem with the system! Good luck to you Mike!! Keep us updated!

 

Good luck man and i hope it turns out good for you.

 

Copping an attitude to the phone operator isn't going to help your situation
