The Comptech box isn't the same philosophy as the Vortech box. CT is just a "signal modifier" to fool the ECU into not seeing boost. It intercepts the MAP signal and alters it. The Vortech tries to do other stuff.
Sometimes, CT's way is better by simplicity but Vortech was endevouring to make things safer and more versatile. They obviously didn't always succeed.

As an aside, I'm still on my original Vortech box. It's been years now and not a hiccup yet (touch wood).

I Love Compthech.

I laugh at Comptechs too.

This is not the place to troll. Your humor is not well founded.

With your kind of "Vortech" power, you can laugh at almost anything else on the road.

You probably connected wrong wires. Follow the wiring diagram.....the written one were wrong at the end part area. Good luck! My Vortech black box is still going and it's almost a year now.
