Magnuson blower with strange vibration noise...? - Page 2

Glad to see there may be light at the end of the tunnel for you. It’s always frustrating when you have expectations that don’t get met. Especially with something like this since it’s a pretty exciting addon for any car. I will say though that if they did in fact try to put any blame on Jannetty tuning the car instead of using their generic canned tune, that is borderline laughable. Jannetty’s tune will be better for your car than a canned tune 100% of the time.

I don't think a reseller has anything to do with the OEM warranty. Sounds like you just got a bad unit. I guess I think of it like a TV or my refrigerator that just had problems. I didnt go to Best Buy, I had to go to the manufacturer.

I do get your frustration. I had a similar experience on my first Procharger. I ended up paying for an upgrade to make it right. But after I did the upgrade, I never had another problem.

Magnuson shipped out the replacement parts today. Hopefully all goes well and I am back on the road in a week or so. Thanks to TooHighPsi, Laylo and Jannetty for working towards getting my car back on the road.

I had a nightmare last night my Camaro overheated on the way to the shop for the swap and water, steam was spouting out the engine bay.... geez

Where was the water coming from? I always run two different coolants. If the standard systems is orange run green in the intercooler SC system, that way if you have a leak you can tell which one is the culprit. Sorry to hear that happened to you.

I was a dream that I had last night. Strangest part was these weird nozzles came out from the front grille and sprayed steam to. "cool off". Weird dream, but it's been on my mind a lot this last week.

Auh, I missed that. Ha, good one

Dropped the car off this morning, still felt 'off' - should get an update in a day or two.

Picked up my car this morning from Life's Good Racing in Livermore. The Magnuson sounds much better after the swap. The IAT's were much lower than the were the last time I drove it, so that is nice. I'll see how it drives over the next couple of days.
