I took the blower off to tighten it, and I got it tight. Put the blower back on, and it's still leaking. Any suggestions where else it could be leaking from or how I can stop it from leaking from the hose?

Edit: turns out it's leaking from the supercharger behind the pulley

Send to vortech for fresh seals

Its not excess spewing from the vent plug? What oil level do you keep the blower at?

The oil is in the cross hairs. I put the full 4oz bottle in after draining it.

Also, not sure if anyone have had this issue. But I just started having a rough idle and the CEL and skid light have come on. I saw some threads of NA guys having this happen too but no one with the vortech kit.

What DTC do you get if you scan it?

That sounds like the issue people were having with the cam system

Can anyone post pics of their oil cooler setup. anyone running Mishimoto? Want to make sure there's mounting issues... any other recommendations?

I'm using the Mishimoto oil cooler. I wasn't able to use the bracket because of the intercooler. I just screwed it to the floor at the front. The oil lines clear the airbox up top with the new sandwich plate.

Here's how I installed it.

Are your lines touching the vortech airbox bracket by the sandwich plate?

I modified the bracket via a dremel

sissupr · 04-30-2014, 08:43 PM

So what everyone is telling me is there is no plug n play kit that works with the vortech SC

I wonder, what about this as an oil cooler solution to use with the Vortech. It'll keep you from having to have yet another air-based heat exchanger:
