Cliff,
That's a long story and part of the problem.....Whipple's Customer Service.
Since we bought the blowers through a GP, they are forcing me to go through them (Need-4-Speed). Picture it - I call N4S and describe my issue, they call Whipple and relay the issue, Whipple responds back to N4S and he has to call me. Then repeat the process
What a joke!
OMFG! All that work just to have to remove it again to send it back. I'd have to kill at least TWO hookers to vent my rage. I hope they take care of you and get this resolved.
I'm surprised we havent read about this at SVTPerf. Whenever theres a product that has an issue it usually turns into a 4,000 page love\hate thread.

Whipple Issues
I sent a long PM to Dustin (who posts on modular Fords). If I don't hear back, it's getting escalated today.
Funny thing is, the car runs great with no noise except at idle. The the blower is spinning decently fast it sounds fine. It also runs great. I tapped into it with the 3.00 (17 psi) pulley last night and saw 18 psi
. I got home and threw the 3.25 pulley on there to be safe.

Sounds like a common problem, do you have a local Whipple vender that can look at it???
Thanks, that could be very helpful info. Maybe I'll can call Jim at JDM and see what he says about it, although I've never bought anything from them.
OK OK OK who dropped the beer bottle top during the install???? CARl and Tim should be ashamed!!! JK hope you get things worked out without having to remove the blower! I also think its BULLSHIT that you have to use a middle man to get to wipple for some customer support!! I wonder how much tolerance can be adjusted in the rotor packs during assembly, might be a reason why under load no noise is heard but at idle there is to much play...Maybe even a bad bearing? Just a thought.
Good Luck

Cliff,
Nothing yet. I want to keep this low key until this is resolved, one way or another. Then I'll provide all the details in this (and other) public forums. I don't want to praise them before they come through or punish them before they screw up. The ball is in their court now. I'll let you guys know.
Whipple
Well I had the guy from Whipple on the phone last night (finally got past the security guard, I mean operator, that picks up the phone) that Tony has been talking to. After discussing some possibilities, I asked if he listened to my file of the noise. He said he hadn't had a chance yet. :argue: Since I was home, I said let me start it up and put the phone near the blower. When I put the phone back to my hear all I could hear him say was "We need to get you an RMA to get that blower back here right away". He said they would replace the blower with a new unit. :headbang:
The person who would handle the RMA wasn't there and I got voice-mail, so I won't get her on the phone until today, but things are looking promising.
Robertson Racin,
Thanks for the info on JDM, I talked to Anthony at length yesterday and he was VERY helpful and informative. I've never even bought anything from them, yet he devoted 15-20 minutes discussing my Whipple problem with me. :hail: :headbang:

Never really took it through a few gears at WOT. Unfortunately the weather was horrible while it was on the car and I was unwilling to push it without getting my Wideband on it or some pulls on a dyno to check A/F. Right now there's a big Whipple box on it's way back to CA.
They said they will turn it around same day. This is their chance to "WOW" me with their customer service and bite the bullet on shipping to get it back to me on Wednesday (two day air) so I can put it back on and have a car to drive over the Thanksgiving Holiday. :alcoholic
