I have a blower sitting in my basement that I took off my car...only thing is it aint broken and Im looking to sell it...I was looking to get $400 but I would take $300 so you guys can get this project going. I say anyone who is interested in RIPP making a larger G trim setup(which is what I wanted to do from day one) they should just pool the money together and I will give you the blower for the R&D...I just donated $100 to the cause myself and I dont even have a tC anymore 
We only need $300 more now

pleast tell me the G-Trim will run better and not have as many problems as the TRD one. I haven't had any problems with mine (except a rougher idle than before it), but it just doesn't have the power I thought it would.

The problems with the F-trim aren't really vortech's problem. It's really limitations in the TRD design. Though it'd be much nicer to have a G trim since we'd be making more boost with the pulleys we have now.
As for power issues, I don't have those

its essentially the same blower housing with a different compressor wheel if im not mistaken. I thought about back in the day seeing if I can rebuild my F trim with the G trim wheel but unfortunately I found out it wasnt possible. Its good to see Ripp stepping it up for you guys and thats why I dont mind selling this thing for less than what I wanted since its for the benefit of everyone.

I'm about to move soon so i have to save some money for the new house. 1or 2 might be in my books too or hopefully They will be better upgrades coming out soon for the current s/c.
