If you can wait..Evolve has a sweet-looking setup coming out. Personally, I'm waiting for the release before I pull the trigger.

Performance and reliability are always a top priority and as you can see in the latest EAS dyno shootout our non intercooled VT1-535 kit held up pretty darn good to some of the much higher rated stage 2 intercooled kits. ESS VT2-600 550 whp ESS VT2-600 514 whp VF 620 484 whp VF 620 479 whp ESS VT1-535 464 whp |

Love the dyno wars Lol Wish more guys were down to play and have a little friendly fun instead of letting a dyno number attempt to do the talking too bad I can't make the air strip event to see some of these numbers in action

OP.... It sounds like you are more show than go anyways. Wanting 20" wheels and more power under 4000rpms and all. :
If you are going to drive the M3 like a M3 then go for the S/C and enjoy the added power all the way to redline. There are people that will back each S/C company and I'm backing ESS as I had it on my E90 M3 and loved the added gobs of power. Both ESS and VF offer an upgrade option if you want more power later, but I'm not site about G-Power. However, look at the power that the ESS entry-level kit is putting down. You'd have to upgrade the VF entry level kit just to compete with the power the ESS-535 kit is putting down. Just sayin! At any rate there are plenty of guys on this forum to set up some ride-alongs, so meet up and test em out! Anyone with a S/C entry level kit can hook this member up with a ride-along?

Adding the 20" wheels will not really benefit you in your goals either (also depending on the wheel..) I would recommend you to check your ECU Software version and make sure you are up to date. Having the latest ECU software can provide substantial gains especially in low end torque and part throttle driving if you are really out of date. Some people gain anywhere from 15-25whp and similar torque. You will have to reload ESS software if you are doing an ECU update to a new software version. That being said, if you want to go S/C then those 2 companies are good. Active makes a good product too which has a lot of mid range torque and power. Evolve is also releasing a kit soon. |

on the other hand i want more torque down low for city driving i know all superchargers would give good power for the track at the high end but this wont help in the city. anyways i know its a lost case getting power down low and hey im not complaining i was just asking for some input and if maybe a supercharger would make a difference.... im pretty sure no one with or without a supercharger would keep driving their car on public roads while keeping the car in high rpm all the time especially if you have a loud exhaust plus ppl would think you can drive (been asked countless times if it was V6). back to the point if i was going to pick a supercharger from the list now i would say ess is my first pick price wise and power. after all they sold the most kits out of everyone like 60+ if not more (read it in a forum) as for evolve's one i hear great thing about their product and customer service so maybe by next summer they will have their kit out. |

Slide in core designs provide for a dynamic installation as Heavy manifolds do not need to be shipped back and forth especially for overseas owners and you do not have to wait for 4 days of added shipping to your installation time. http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...ight=VF540+EAS Manifold core size or air charge blow by is not a concern with designs that are engineered with these factors in mind from the outset. The dyno plot showing the VF620 performing 484whp is misleading because the vehicle was experiencing an issue which was corrected the following week and put down over 520whp on the same dyno (EAS) just a few days later - just wanted to clear that up. Thanks! Custom VF-intake manifold w/slide-in air:water heat exchanger This is a dyno of the performance you receive with our Entry-level system: VF540 STD Correction Thanks to tom and EAS for all these dynos and pictures! |

ESS is proven in many ways for example power , reliability , longevity ( 100k+ miles on my own personal kit ) ease of install & customer service ! Here's the kicker ... Over 350+ kits installed with no reported major failure
Why look further..... Wishfull shopping always turns out bad and you end up kicking yourself in the ass Good luck |

Yes. The 2nd car has yet to be examined. We do know it had Challenge X-pipe and primary cats which we have not tested.

I was debating which SC company to go with as well, but I decided on VF Engineering because all the support that they gave me. I wanted to do the VF540 kit because of the value, but since I track the car so much I went with the VF620 kit and I love it! I'll be track testing the unit this saturday and at buttonwillow on the 20th. If you need some feedback or any help PM me or call me anytime 949-241-5623.

There's been plenty of Vbox, 1/4 mile and sbs racing video's to know what the kits can do.
