Should be a fun video.
Basing the time and complications to install any kit is really an enormous variable when considering a forced induction option. Nobodies skills are the same and peoples access to the tools that make EVERYTHING faster are not always consistent. What might take me only half a day might take someone else 30+ hours to do a job. That doesn't make the install hard it just means someone else isn't as fast or not as skilled or lacks the resources to be faster. I think the only way to really make a decision on a system based on time would require a realistic evaluation of your own skill and capabilities. Even those who think they are capable or have an abundance of experience may take way longer than one would expect because again not everyone is the same. I don't personally see anything complicated with the Vortech, Innovate, or any of the forced induction systems out there for our cars but that's because nothing about them are foreign to me. I did get the feeling that the trailer for the video was insinuating a negative overall experience with Vortech BUT it is a trailer and trailers are suppose to catch your attention even if they may be a little misleading to do so. For all we know it has a happy ending and the initial install stress was worth it in the end to this particular end user. The Vortech kit makes this car fun that it for certain in my opinion. Let's not forget there are always those one-off issues that arise and that can stop even the best of enthusiasts in their tracks but I would caution making a decision based on a one-off circumstance (i.e. bent charge pipe). That is just the nature of the game....... something always comes up at some point or another whether it be this install or another.
