In my brief search, I did not find a post with this video link, so here goes. If there is an existing topic, please dup this.
I put this in Issues, but please move it to the appropriate sub-forum. |
If you go back and read most of my posts you will see over 2 years most of the issues. Most of them are chicken shit problems, some caused by us, some caused by half ass design and support from aftermarket companies and others just relating to modifying a budget platform.

Guy in the video is a Whiny *****.
Thought he was gonna buy the first frs off the lot and
Slap on the first supercharger kit he could find and everything was gonna have factory fit and it was gonna run smooth as silk with a email tune
And have factory warranty and reliability.
Dude has his head up his butt.
If the car is stock you should be fine. Even simple things past stock are fine.
If you don't know how to maintain and repair and deal with the headaches that come with slapping a turbo/supercharger on a car that didn't have one to begin with, then your digging your own grave

You can take a look at the join date of 2012 and all the effort we put into helping this community. From DI, logging, working with tuners, oil temp research on and on.
It's sharing an experience, nothing more. You want perfect experiences go to guys like TJ Hunt who get free stuff and everything done for him so he can advertise how great things are. This forum like most are run by vendors trying to sell sell sell. And the real world is not everything goes smooth. Take it for what its worth but we put more time and hours in here than plenty of the internet racers.

I did learn something about belt routing on the vortech though when I was first looking in to FI.

It's sharing a real world experience. It's snarky and sarcastic.
Spending hundreds of hours on a car will do that to you.
