Default About Vortech...

I know it's a stupid question but
Will a VORTECH head unit fits a Procharger Twin intercooler?

The outlet of the Vortech doesn't have to point that way, since it's clockable. You may be able to point it down and to the right, and be able to route tubing to make the Procharger ICs work. But it would be a custom setup, not plug 'n play.

Pretzel? It does lookthat way stock, but doesn't have to on a custom install.

Haha, I always thought that vortechs in the stock configuration just look like a giant hassle. I've never attempted to work around one, etc, but just remember hearing stories from a friend that installed/worked on one years ago - getting around it to do anything such as plugs, etc was a big PIA. I'm sure it can be improved upon though.

To me the Procharger setup is kind of... not clean... but, the Vortech setup is so much worse. There's not a lot of room, so no setup is going to be perfect... but, man... just look at all that mess on top of the motor.
