That is because you had some "other" rebuilder do it! Not Kenne Bell or Kenne Bell parts. What experience have you had with "Customer service"? I did nothing but try to help you when your "rebuilder" screwed up your 2.2?? Also what are you doing to the 2.2 to have to have it rebuilt in the first place? I bet you have a underhood heater, running 20-22LBS on the street with pump gas...right?
I am sorry, I did not mean to include customer service in that post. I truly apologize, you have been more than helpful!
I honestly meant to put customer service as a plus for KB, lol.
Let me tell you, I don't understand why everyone was saying they couldnt get through to KB... When I called when I first got the blower, I had some questions about play in the snout and got through every single time I called, right away, and the person who I spoke to was VERY informative and helpful. Also, at the same time, I wanted to get new stickers for the KB and a few other KB decals, and they sent a whole little "package" to me at no expense, so as far as customer service, from my experience, Kenne Bell has provided a perfect 10 in that arena.
Yes, you are right, the blower was rebuilt by another person... so I guess my problems weren't b/c of KB... I think the rebuilder due to bad seals, etc.
I think I was just taking out my frustrations with the blower leaking oil out on Kenne Bell as a company, and I apologize for that b/c I have had nothing but excellent service from the company. It's just me having a 3rd party do the rebuild causing my headaches.... again, apologies!
The ONLY thing I can say though, is compared to other whipples, is the torque is typically lower on average than most other 2.3L whipples at the same boost levels... seems to be that the 2.2's were low on torque. I think the 2.8H's and the mammoths have made up for that now though, lol.
Hopefully no hard feelings because I really do appreciate you helping me out in my posts about the issues after the rebuild.
I have a K&N intake (recommended by HBH, my tuner), and the car is running on 18lbs of boost with torco... so no, I'm not dogging it out.
