Whilst I might disagree with a vendors specific recommendation, I’d rather they recommended one and I bought a better one or at least similar than them not recommending one at all. You strike me as someone who likes to do things right, so I’m sure you agree |

I haven't had an M3 for over two years, but reading this sort of stuff is the reason I am still on here

OP sounds like he just wants to go fast in a straight line and a turn-key solution delivered. I don't think he's very sophisticated when it comes to cars and the build details. |

Yes Gauges, those things we use to tell us whats going on in the car, Speed, Revs etc.
im suprised you dont think this is relevant to this discussion, granted there are other things as well but this is still relevant. Likewise aside from "Gauges", if I had had 2 VT cars that blew for whatever reason (high boost according to AJ), and went back for another "built" engine and "again" had increased the boost (which is the point of a built engine, or at least to get safely passed the 8psi range) then id be learning from my previous mistakes and not making them again. Well unless I had the ops money it would seem, which I dont, thus id prefer to do everything I could to make the car as enjoyable as it could be and as safe as it could be. Now im not completly siding with ESS on this one, its clear they have some responsiblilty on this purely by being involved with building the VT3 setup and potentially not doing everything in their power to pass enough, and the correct info on, but from my opening post the OP didnt tell the truth so he also has some as well. |

Some early 650 kits ran 97mm top side and some had different crank sizes. There were also some early 650's that ran the stock crank and smaller SC pulley. The current kit with it's current provided crank pulley runs a 99mm SC pulley. Dispite the configuration as long as you are making 8 psi that is all that matters.

Mmmmmm.... Gauges!
This has gotten ugly with a few usual suspects!
IMO, ESS has done more than enough to help out a customer that would not listen to the advice of ESS and is completely standing behind their product even though the customer did NOT follow their advice. Also, this is more than most other S/C would most likely offer or provide!

I have adjusted my crank size with great traction resultant!!!!! Hell it's all about friction anyways, right?
