You scared me alot. Once the supercharger had almost 2500miles, this weekend i changed the oil. The oil level was a bit high because when the kit was installed i forgot to tell them to check the oil level. For the oil refill i didn't took the 4oz capacity claim by Vortech as granted and controlled the oil level with the dipstick. The result is that it didn't need a full bottle (4oz) to reach the max level of the dipstick. After that i took it for a spin with multiple 10psi pulls and the vent plug is dry.

During that spin and at 60mph at 6th gear on a highway, a GTR (R35) reached to my rear very fast and gave me several high beams flashes. I immediately downshifted to 3rd and smashed the throttle. Till top of 4th gear the GTR was getting behind to about 6 cars lenghts. After that i gave up because i needed to exit the highway. I guess i gave him a lesson not to mess with other cars...

I really like your catch can. Too bad it is such expensive compared to other. Where did you bought yours and what was the final price with shipping and custom duties.
