Vortech, injectors, pump, and tune is 2-3 days going slowly, and making sure everything is perfect, testing driving, and racking it up a few more times just to make no leaks or issues. If you had gauges, and a bunch of other accessories to install, I would say 5 days.

 

Not reading all the posts, here but my TT install was done in 3 1/2 days and I picked it up on the fourth day. Thats with the mechanic working till about 1-2ish everyday. Not too bad IMO.

You're S/C install should take no more than two days.

 

I keep telling you guys that not because a shop works on Porsche's and Ferrari's will make them good at working on a G/Z....I am telling you for a fact that is not how it works. Like Sharif said...5 days for a full install, test and tune.

Porsche's are much easier to work on than a G/Z.....they just charge more because of the name

 

well this shop builds z's of all ages... kinda why i took to him...he has also done a few vortech installs... right now the problem they r giving me is getting the new utec to communicate... well monday, the car was running but cutting fuel at 4700rpm...thats why i had map sensor next morning to them... then he told me 2hrs max.. that was tuesday at 9am...

 

well ill def let them know bout that... thanks alot.. maybe that can be it

shoulda gone to forged

 

 

so i just called to see if any progress yet... and they said he would call me when he got free but hes been on it since 8am.... wtf could be wrong with it? this is driving me crazy and totally took the fun out of it for me....

 

still no word im headed up there in 20 mins


so went up there and for some reason my utec wont keep the tune right... its either too rich at idle or way to lean at top end... looked as if he was as frustrated as i am... dont doubt he knows what he is doin either... maybe just my luck

 

I think i'm going to create a thread entitled "SHOULD HAVE GONE TO FORGED PERFORMANCE" Because myself, now you, and a few other people that i know personally feel the exact same way. You can pretend you know what you're talking about with this car and take the business but as i and apparently so many others now know... that can turn out very very bad.

 

Dont mean to clutter this post up, but I did want to add one thing to Scout's post.....

The one thing I have learned, spend the money the first time... buy the best parts available and use the most regarded people in the business and your success rate will be magnitudes higher.

 

kinda what i thought i did

 

yeah either forged or PF, anything else and you are asking for headaches

 

could i use someone elses tune with similar mods? and see if thats the problem... id be wiiling to pay if someone is willing to share... even if its just a base vortech map
