SO they did send you all the right stuff, and it was an issue of the shop not following instructions on the charger break in.

Duuuuude, SWEEEEEEEET!!! I can't believe breaking in the charger added 2-3 PSI

I think it was a combonation of break-in and timing. Bobby said the timing was ony at 15-16 deg. He's taking it to 20

ETA....Baer's timing was at 24 deg when he pulled a little over 11 lbs @ 515hp

I am so numb right now I have little to no emotions about the numbers. I just want to pull up in my driveway from the drive home from Tampa without any holes in the block or hood. I'm so done with this. Turns out it was leaking boost from some coupler/clamp, don't ask me to elaborate because it was explained to me over my cell phone and sometimes sentences get garbled. I appreciate everyone's help and patience with my whining. I defenately have learned to be more patient and not to go off ranting when I should of waited for more info. This whole situation took me to the edge and nobody should have to go through what I did, it was F*CKING RIDICULOUS. My first mistake was going through GTM. In the end they finally came through with some help from Pablo and a certain forum member, I think without my persistant b*tching and the help from these people I would had to wait a lot longer.

Sam was helpful at times. I think he has great products but he certainly doesn't have his sh*t together. I would have went with a single turbo from either BP or VSR if I had it to do all over again. Hell, I would have a slightly used C6 Z06 if I could go back far enough. Hopefully I will have years of enjoyment from this set-up and no more drama inbetween. Hopefully I won't be a stupid azz and put it in a ditch with my new found power or get a speeding ticket, although I can get out of most tickets ;). Dreamer, I'll have a list of mods for you soon so you can add me to the finished builds.

BTW...I hope I'm not sceaming victory before I get her home :ughdance:

AND jackassery with the tune as well as a stupid coupler.

This should be strike 1 and 2 for VSR IMHO.

That said, I'm happy for you and only wish for the best

Congrats on the numbers. Dyno charts please!

glad it's all done and working properly, man what a mission, I've been keeping up with your info from the time you changed to the supercharger kit as I was thinking of doing the same a while ago..

Hey Guys,

like to start off by apologizing.

We as a shop did not read the last page of the instructions and we are sorry. I can assure you guys that will never happen again, however that was not the issue. The issue was the oversized 90' coupler that comes off the supercharger and oversized T-bolt clamps. When the T-bolt clamp reached its end it caused the oversize coupler to pinch allowing boost pressure to leak out. The fix was simple, I robbed some clamps from a BMW 335i.

The other problem we had with the kit was the oil system.

The oil pan, oil filter relocation, thermostat and cooler do not work as plan. We made new lines, some drilling and a little fabrication and we made it all work.

Overall the kit is very nice and it delivered the power. The instructions and the lack of parts showing up on time really caused a problem in the shop. Keep in mind we are a 18,000 sqft and at any giving time we have 40 cars in the shop. So when we have to stop and wait and stop and wait on parts that should have came with kit, not to mention that the kit fits 2012 and older NOT 2013 and for the record there are difference between the 2013 model not much but enough. My techs are not GODS, so they will forget and make a mistakes when pulled off a car.

The Tuner and I came in on the weekend (shop closed) and went through the kit and retuned it.

For the record it made 499.6 HP and 402 TQ. Very nice numbers.

Thanks
Bobby

infidel mentioned you pushed timing to 21 degrees? isn't that pretty high for stock compression at 11psi?

I had one hell of a time with that intake pipe clamping it to the SC, first it looks like it wont fit at all!

Did you pick the car up?

I had mine @ 24 degrees when I made 516 rwhp with 11 lbs of boost.

24 degrees where? I'll assume up top after peak torque, but this still sounds really high for 93 octane and stock compression

I had no knock at all and logged tons of info to go over but keep in mind my tune took a VERY long time to dial in.

That's pretty crazy! Obviously it worked well for you. I think my 100/91 mix map is only like 18 degrees.
