So, is Corey the only one left in the group? Sam?
Maybe we can give some kind of discount for people that switch from Vortech to the turbo. :p

The splines on mine were perfectly fine. The only thing wrong with mine was i blew a seal and oil went spraying up into the motor. I believe the seal was busted from the vibration of the shaft. They do need to reinforce this somehow, or if this happens again with someone we need to make a petition to get our money back and go in the route of this turbo. This turbo is for 2.5L's right? This shaft is far too long and Vortech being some great engineers of great superchargers should have known this. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure something like that out.

This really makes me wish HMS had the turbo kit done before Vortech did their kit....he could have sold alot by now.....and been more reliable.
Just call me Judge.
