Yes, I'm sure that's what happened. Now that I think about it, they probably never intended to build a kit, one of the engineers had mentioned something to me about Stillen testing thier blower while I was there dropping my car off. My 2 cents is they were probably working together, since it benifits both, and used my car to further the research for Stillen. Who knows, I'll I know is I didn't get anything out of it, other then loss of my car for awhile, work, and 100 mile trip both ways, and not even a thank you email. :mad: Maybe Stillen will kick down a discount for my contribution :icon17: Prob not.

Sorry for your inconvenience.. nothing was ever directed from our side, and while we do have a great relationship with Vortech, the engineering has been completely done in house, no design elements have come from Vortech or their engineers.

Let's PM regarding your other request..

Yeah, no hard feelings really, that's the risk I was willing to take. Not getting some sort of follow up email or call after the fact was probably the only thing that bothered me. Between delivering the car, paying a friend for gas to give me a ride back and getting someone else to give me a ride up, couple hours of lost work during the week, and just my time, I was probably into it for a few hundred bucks, I guess I expected just a bit more out of Vortech. When I first got my car I lent it to Berk and Hotchkis and they were both exceptional experiences, can't say enough good things about them. Vortech just left me a little flat :icon17:
