Okay. Maybe it's not vapor.

could be a shadow but that connector doesn't look even remotely close to sealing the pipe at the throttlebody.

nice finish though!

shadow/lip

the pipes usually havea small lip on them to help for grip. The silicone hoses are black underneatht eh orange that you are seeing there

You're right. Even it it is a tree layer coupler the thickness changes. It looks like a 3in coupler on a 2.5in pipe. Most likely need a 2.5 to 3in coupler and didnt have one around so they just put a 3in on there in a rush. Or its just a mock up pic.

Wow, that aircon clutch is running way close to the supercharger, must be some real packaging challenges there lol

Nah, fits just fine! Almost ike that engine compartment was designed with a Vortech system in mind!

Tradewind · 10-16-2012, 04:51 PM

That air filter intake assembly is very nice, with the company logo etc

Must only be a few bee's ****s worth of clearance between charger pulley and aircon pulley lol

this kit has me so torn between it and the avo turbo kit. whichever has the most affordability and numbers that suit me best will get my money. AVO making ~230lbs of torque at 3k RPMs is crazy!
