Well 2 months later and all of my issues have been taken care of. The vortech boost a pump issue has been cured by vortech swapping my programmable with a universal and telling me it isn't going to fix the problem. Well it did. Car has a strong 2 second prime every time now with the universal installed. Looks like there may be some kind of compatibility issue with the programmable? Either way I paid roughly 230$ over the price of the universal to get a universal, hopefully I can get some kind of compensation for the difference.
