How can i be sure when buying a head unit if its still good or not? and how much does it cost to get one to be rebuilt? Also does it matter what kinda head unit you use?

If you are buying one off the internet, the only thing you can really do is check the serial number. Ask the seller what the serial number is, then call vortech and ask them for the history of that number. They will tell you exactly when the unit was manufactured, when it was sold, and if it has been in their shop for service or not. Anytime you send the unit in they will do a "minor service" on the unit. That consists of changing all seals and bearings. The cost is about $350 for the service from vortech. Its really way overpriced because you can get the same seals and bearings from parts stores for under $75. They will tell you that their seals and bearing are "only avaliable through vortech" BUT, if you take the unit apart all the seals and bearings have part numbers on them. You then take those numbers to the parts store nearest you, and have them cross-reference those numbers to another brand. I had my input shaft seal changed because a strand of belt stripped off and wrapped around the input shaft destroying that seal. It was a $5 seal at autozone and was actually better quality than the original one. Seals are super easy to change, you just pull them out and press the new ones into place. Bearings arent hard either. If a shop is willing, it would only cost about $100 to have the seals and bearings changed out. Vortech just doesnt want to give out the part numbers because they would lose alot of money on "minor services" if they did.
As long as the blower spins freely and doesnt have any shaft play, its probably in excellent shape. Inside the blower case their are only 2 gears that will not go bad unless the unit doesnt get any oil. Also make sure the impeller is not bent.
Any unit will work as long as it is an S-trim (v1 or v2) and the v1 T-trim will work also. For 96-04 cars, you need a counterclockwise rotation head unit with straight discharge. Looks like this.........http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Vorte...31392440QQrdZ1
What would be the ideal sized injectors and fuel pump to use for 2000 gt. And what brand injectors and fuel pump would you recomend. Thanks
Ford Racing 42# injectors and SVT Focus fuel pump. The focus fuel pump is 255lph. If your planning on going really big with power then you may need to upgrade to an 03 cobra fuel tank and pumps. That would only be needed well over 400whp though.
Well Frostbitten you have become MF's new favorite member! lol!Great post BTW, I am too in college and this would be great if I was gonna go the supercharge route
