Vortech v2 head unit So I had a v2 sq unit that came with my car n it spun a bearing so I purchased a v2 t trim off of a guy that was rebuilt with new casing and interals etc etc has all the paperwork for it. I pop off my old one to mock it up with the new one and they look totally different...from the angle the outlet is to the mounting points. I even called vortech to see if it would fit n the guy said it would minus the inlet...do what do I do now? I need help guys and fast I'm very frustrated and my car is down.

At least, I reclocked the housing on my procharger to point straight down (6:00). I'm assuming the Vortech head units are similar. There's not much to it:
The rotation and outlet may be way off. IIRC Vette's and mustangs are counterclockwise and we use a clockwise rotation.
If the outlet is just pointing the wrong way you can reclock it as mentioned above.

I thought he meant that the outlet is at the wrong angle in relation to the mounting points, but he may have instead meant that everything is different including the mounting points. Re-reading it sounds like the latter is correct.
I sincerely hope it isn't the case, but if the replacement head unit is a reverse-rotation version, then reclocking will serve no purpose. The outlet angle is the least of your worries if the impeller is spinning backwards.
