Vortech S/C 3rd party review:
I drove a Vortech SC today huge thanks to good friend @
Amalgamo. As many of you know, I am an AVO powered BRZ owner. I drove the stage 1 kit and can only compare it to my first drive of the AVO kit at 4 psi, then running 7 psi at one point, or FBM stage 1 kit at 8 psi which are the only other FI cars I've driven/ rode shotgun. I am going to be as impartial as possible.
The Vortech SC kit feels exactly like the car stock, but with no dip and the car feels pulling all the time. It is not neck breaking, you do not get a rush of power, its a power that increases throughout the RPM but at no point you feel a rush of power.
It is very different than the other two turbo kits I've driven or be a passenger of. The turbo kits put power immediately. You press the gas, they just GO. With the Vortech although it definitely pulls, and again this is compared with the TC kits, it still feels like its waiting a bit to go and it never GOES (I think this is expected again, because you never get an onset of power).
I think my best way to summarize it is, the Vortech kit feels exactly like the car should have come from factory, that subtle more power needed throughout the Rev band. The turbo kits feels like you did a good and noticeable upgrade in power over the stock car.
