Default Vortech Lysolm

Found one posted on ebay (Item number: 280346927495). First kit for sale that I have actually seen. Looks like a repackaged Whipple. For the money i'd just buy a tvs 1900.

Ok, now I'm really confused. I know whipple buys or has the rights to the lysolm compressor (twin screw) but why the hell does that one have vortech's name on it? Did they buy out whipple?

It's cool to see a competitively prices intercooled screw blower, but its about...lets see...ummmm....5, no 6 years too late.

As for the lysholm imitating the TVS, I dunno about that one. If the eaton puts any more twists into the rotors it'll be a screw compressor. :lo:

Whipples are garbage. You want to really get some power don't do a whipple or lysolm. TVS or turbo. No other forced induction option for me ever again.

They manufacture the centrifugal, not the screw.
