Zero issues since I have had the Vortech. 1 month shy of a year on the car. Vented hood too. Personally I can't say enough good things about the fit and finish. Reliability-wise its been great and Mine is not an off the shelf Vortech. I integrated a wastegate system on mine from day 1 so I stress the compressor far more than most with this kit. So in the end some might have little things here and there and others like myself have had a flawless experience in all aspects even pushing its limits.

Everything between the V-3 and the V-2 are the same with the exception that the V-2 can withstand prolonged high RPM such as in road course racing. The V-2 is mostly a heat combatant for the bearings and gear case oil (which is obviously engine oil on the V-2). If you want to stay within the MAX impeller speed limits on both V-3 and V-2 then 3.125" is your limit. If you are ok with pushing the limits put whatever you want on it, just be prepared to rebuild the supercharger at some point pre-maturely.

How are the washer fluid reservoirs holding up with the latest kits? Any owners still reporting leaks?

nothing on my kit has broken yet. 8,000 miles as of today I may be upgrading the charge pipe to the throttle body to 3 in and a custom 3 inch intake also just sent my blower for the Heavy Duty upgrade.
if anyone has any questions about the system you can email me.

I'm close to 10K miles on mine, no problems after replacing the idler pulley for squeaking. Half of the miles have been on a 3.125" pulley and cold starting in 2-20*F weather
