I've had mine for 6 years now... but then again, I don't drive the car very often

I'll move this to the Forced Induction forum...

3 years here, no problems, but, I'm like Brent94Z, I don't drive it all that much, but when it is driven ... it gets DRIVEN .

Hope this helps

Between my current car and the last one I have about 30,000 miles on my S-Trim with no problems. I have never heard of a premature failure of a Vortech yet.

I have had my s-trim for 3 years now. But it has been sitting on a shelf. But a friend had a S-trim for about 20,000 miles and no problems untill he was cutting donuts and it got hot. The next day his truck had no boost.
