ESS VT1 vs ESS VT2 - IAT's

Hi,

I do my resarch for supercharging my M3. Objective is to do this in about one year. Then I will know for sure my engine is ok and there will be some more experience around by bolting on SC's to the S65.

ATM I would prefer to start with the ESS VT1 and in case I really want/need more power to upgrade to VT2.

Now, how much is the IAT temperature difference when you compare

- VT1 @ 4.5 psi, non intercooled, ambient temp is 80 degF
- VT2 @ 5.5 psi, intercooled, ambient temp is 80 degF as well

Even here in Switzerland we get ~ 100 degF on hot summerdays. Would a VT1 still be appropriate or will IAT's go through the roof ?

Thanks,
Eugen
