Hopefully things pick up pace at Vortech ...

Its been 25 business days and counting since I bought through my tuner, still no tracking #

It took about 30 days for me to get all of my stuff too.

Quick video test before review is released.

Business days or actual days though? Mine hasn't even shipped as of yet apparently.

38 actual days to be specific, from when I ordered it maybe a few days longer.
I also had to wait for the wiring harness etc.

Last time I was running Torque, I believe it was within 10F of ambient, normal DD driving.

At what temps does it increase risk of knock?

The engine will automatically pull timing (and possibly add fuel) as IATs increase, that's a big part of a forced induction tune. That's why you're down on power so much when IATs climb.

I don't start to get really worried until 140*F or so, and I've never seen a car with such little boost and a decent intercooler (like this setup) get that hot.

I missed my shipment yesterday, but i got a shipping notice on my door on day #41 (regular days not business days).

I might have had a slight delay due to some vendor issues that i purchased through but i have no idea on that side of the fence. Also note I never got a track # (though vortech is only about a 5-6hr drive from here). I just got a notification from the UPS my choice service that notifies you when someone ships to your address.

I would imagine yours either just barely shipped, or is about to ship anytime now.

Today Vortech has shipped out all but one of our kits.

We have 5 on order for shelf stock now

They did 8-10 kits for us this week.

We're very pleased

SonnyBRZ · 06-21-2013, 08:16 PM

That is freaking sweet. Vortech really picked up their pace.
Looks like i need to travel down to the states warehouse to pick this up soon!
