The Vortech unit is a great out of the box infusion of power.
How does it compare to turbo for performance?
Well there are a lot more tuners of notable S/Cers. Moreso than turbos.
Reliability - well when you get greedy for boost parts start to fail.
But remember adding any power adder is putting more stress on a system that's rated for 260hp - not 350hp. So if you buy a power adder, have some money ready for a rebuild.
It's the smart and wise thing to do.
