I want to be BRAVE

It sounds like you're going to have to scratch that itch. If I were in the market for a supercharger, I'd feel confident with an ESS based on feedback here but it's always mod at your own risk.

I then filled up with half 91 and half pump 100 to yeild a mix of ~ 95 octane and dyno'd at 567 RWHP...so the ECU definitely adapts. Bummer that you don't have anyone to install for you...maybe you can fly somebody in I know it's extreme and a large extra cost but that's what I would do if I were in your situation. Just ask Roman what tools are needed and have those ready for the installer.

What's up Adam! Yeah, I've thought of flying an installer in. But what I will probably end up doing is talk to a former BMW tech who installed the Akra Evo, and discuss the intall instructions with him to see what he thinks. Possibly the install is not going to be the hard part, but what I also think is about what if something goes wrong. Diagnosing problems with the kit, etc. I know these are very solid kits, and from what I've read here, many issues can be solved even through a phone talk with Roman. But you know what they say: you have to pay to play . We'll see if I have the guts to pull the trigger. Thnks for your input
