    Default beware Vortech supercharger COPYS

    Found this while looking around on the web. Procomp are making copys of vortech superchargers. If its like the rest of there gear it would probably be good for a paper weight.

    lol yeah good value...I bought 4 of their fuel regs and 4 electric fuel pumps from the states cheap to try and resell here....didn't last long coz 2 fuel regs were rooted, 2 fuel pumps leaked like a siv plus weren't even pumping at the right pressure and the adjuster spring was cut and rusty.

    If ya want good value for money, search car forums, ebay and gumtree for second hand parts which are a decent brand, they'll still last and perform better then anything new from procomp. Procomp is just dodgy as f**k! lol

    Lets just say Procomp are cheap and leave it at that . Best way I can describe their gear from every example I have seen.

    Incorrect. Their products would be good value if they were free, even then I wouldn't put their shit anywhere near my car.

    In your case they might be good value cause you haven't hurt something, but when something Procomp goes bang and hurts the rest of your engine, the value factor goes right out the door.

    STAY AWAY FROM PROCOMP!!

    There is no such thing as stupid questions, Only stupid people.
