JRSC chattering...buy Vortech?
The JRSC on my GSR is chattering. Should I repair it, or buy a Vortech. Note- JR is not doing any warranty work as it was on the car when I bought it. I wanted more power before it started to chatter, so Im thinking the Vortech would be a nice change. Ideas?

Re: JRSC chattering...buy Vortech? (gmoore379)
I am seeing alot of negative stuff about the vortech. The reason I am giving up on my JRSC is that its F'ed. I dont want it repaired, I bet it will happen again. I dont want turbo because the reliability is lower than S/C's from what I hear. I dont street race and I will occasionally run at the track. This is what I have gathered.
Reliable turbo=Greddy
Greddy=Slow
Drag kit=Fast
Drag kit=Less reliable
VSC=Mediocre speed + Reliability.
It may not make sense to a speed freak, but I am going to have to sacrafice speed for reliabilty.
Note- Reliability is key in my case. I drive 50 miles a day. I cant afford to have my car down for much time at all. IE- (from what I hear) with a turbo.

Custom turbo setup = fast, relaible, and cheaper than a "kit"

Its chattering, theres not a question in my mind that its not. My mechanic told me he thought it was chattering, I took it to a specialist, and said listen to the car, I never mentioned the chattering, and he said it was chattering also. The internals blades are hitting eachother, and I may drive more than 50, never actually measured it out. So, you all think I can pull off a turbo kit that will be VERY reliable and make AS MUCH power as my JR at 10psi? Thanks,

and it will most likley end up making more power.
If your lobes are hitting each other i would get that thing takin out ASAP, before a peice af broken metal starts destroying your motor.

Never mind. We decided to pull the charger and send it in, we talked them into doing warranty work. Thanks all!
