Hey Ryan I'm definitely going to be cautious with the boost and I'm going to oversee the build as much as I can. S&R is doing my build and I plan to fly down near the end and check it out.

Very frustrating turbo build so far! No one has called me, returned my calls/emails...I have no idea what the progress is or ETA. I still have to book a flight and take time off work and school.

Managed to dig a pic from facebook so at least I know my car is there.

98intrigue · 10-23-2012, 07:04 PM

I'm sorry to hear that. I've heard that from a few people recently...wonder what's up?

kellyefields · 10-23-2012, 07:18 PM

talked to Joe today and He said he picked up his supercharger yesterday and saw it there. looked as if they were tearing it apart from the looks of it if I understood him correctly.

Nut_N_Much · 10-23-2012, 07:42 PM

Hey brother,
Went yesterday and looked at you car. They have it all torn apart like you said. Bobby said you asked for some custom stuff. Its taking time to build it, he didn't say what it was that was custom. What did you order with the kit? The good thing is there wasn't a lot of cars in the shop, so they will have time to work on it.

While I was there they were tuning a 350Z HR with a single turbo set up. If I remember correctly 6 ponds of boost. 368 Torq/420 HP. They ran it with 8 and got 398 ftlbs tq and 460hp.

Thats a nice set up, I just wish they had a mandrel bender with dies to handle up to 3.5 tubing, it would look way more cleaner... Don't know what yours is looking like yet, still taking shape..

I'll be back down there next week scavenging for hardware so I'll check in on it, Its also not to far out of the way going home....

Glokwork · 10-23-2012, 11:04 PM

Hey Joe I appreciate you checking up on it for me! I'm not sure what the hell he is talking about to be honest. I sourced the boost controller, wideband afr, cubby gauge mount, bov, and wastegate which I had it all shipped to them. The only custom work is the hot/cold piping which has to be fabricated.

I know they are still getting settled in at Vortex but when you give them several thousand dollars you should actually feel like an important customer. I can't even get them to email me an updated invoice since my last big payment.

I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt being slammed and getting the move straightened out. It's been 3 weeks since I've handed over a large amount of money and they haven't picked up the phone once and called me since then.

I also am torn what color I should do on the cold side piping. Any suggestions anyone? Everything else on the car is already black
