Man I can not believe how much extra hose you have to use to have a vortech system. I thought it was bad when I installed just the Non IC kit but after installing the after cooler this weekend I felt like I put a mile of hose in there. Are twin screws as bad on the hose thing? In all the write ups that I've looked at on here about the Twin Screw S/Cers it seems like they would be 10X easier to install.

Maybe you should have titled this Vortech aftercoolers suck to install. When I saw that you said a mille of hose on an S/C install I thought, WHAT? I have a paxton intercooled kit and there was very few hoses to run and I thought it went smooth and easy!

But after reading your post, you are talking about addind an aftercooler. Totaly diff.

Well there were a lot of hoses for the S/Cer and then many more for the aftercooler. I'm sure the reason why the paxton doesn't have many is because it has an air to air and its just one in and one out.
