Vortech T-trim supercharger coming
Vf-engineering posted some more pictures of development under way on their supercharger.
The blower used is the Vortech T-trim. This same blower, on the e46 m3, gains over 150 wheel at just 5.5 psi. The shop car is a DCT so we will have our answer soon as to how much power the DCT can take. (small photo, I know, but this is all they posted of the blower mounted) To get an idea of the size of the T-trim vs. a rotrex: |

Well, ESS is supposedly working on theirs but who knows. Chances are they are though.
Active I bet is going to start on theirs. I am interested particularly in VF as they seem to be way ahead of everyone else and using the best blower available. The thing is a monster yet efficient. Not to mention they are just down the street from me, which is awesome. |

Man I would love to go the FI route, but Im having a hard time swallowing 15k, especially while under warranty. But I hope quite a few kits come out and I'd like to see peoples experiences first with install, reliability and overall assessments of the kit. My goal, dream is a better word is to be in the 450-500whp range. So I'll be keeping an eye on this kit as well as what Active's plans are.

Sticky is a buddy of mine, but all he said was in past experiences with OTHER kits they're priced this way. There could be a chance that these companies can come out with a kit for under $10,9,8 etc too. |
