My review on the ESS VT2 SuperCharger including Dyno!
Its was just a matter of time to go FI route.debated between some of the companies out there and did some researches and came down to ESS as i had my NA tune from them in the past and was more than satisfied.
Found a used kit with about a 1K miles and spoke to Roman about it and he was very helpful to answer all my questions about reliability and the maintenance of the SC.It took me and a buddy of mine a weekend to install the kit. Instillation instruction was very straight forward,couldn't be easier. Here are my reviews : The Kit was nicely designed,from the SC bracket to the cast intake.Fitment was 100%. Car feels a lot smoother through out the RPM,idles better,drives very nice and about 4500RPM it completely transforms. I had my car before with pulley,Dinan intake,Gintani race,challenge Xpipe and ESS NA tune and put down 404WHP,car felt very quick compared to stock. The SC took the power to another level of performance. Keep up the good work Roman! Sometime next week i will get some Dyno numbers and i will post them !!

Does anybody know about any engine/tranny blow with the ESS supercharger?
Would like to go FI route at a certain time, but still waiting to hear about potential reliability problems

How do you handle the traction with the extra power?
Losing traction more often than not with my stock M3.

Different wheels/tyres... I have over 600hp with 285 tyres on the rear which gives pretty good traction.

I don't pound on the car off the line,i usually get on it in second gear @ 4500rpm,still get a tire spin but its better than power shifting into 2nd and spin the tire all the way to redline.
