new VF620
I'll make this short and sweet, Me and a buddy installed the VF620 on my car, after some headaches with the installation (mainly because the instructions just need to be updated) we got it done. Many thanks to Jeff Moss over at VF engineering who's customer service was top notch, and Robert who sold me the kit.
Anyway, may I say the pull is just so smooth and constant! like continually being pushed back into my seat, I really have to get used to this. Drives like stock. idles like stock no codes! Very solid kit, if you are looking at supercharging just do it VFE is a great option.

I'm interested in scing when my warranty runs dry. Can you share some more on the driving experience with the kit? Power delivery from zero and at speed? Is the car more unwieldy with all the extra power? Fuel economy change (not as important )?
Thanks.

LMAO ^
I want to do the same when my warranty is up to however by then CA smog will be something like every 2 years. It makes no sense to pay someoen to remove and then put back on after smog just for 2 more years. Maybe the idea of sell the car is good . I know there are people out there somewhere that knows someone who knows someone but still that is a gamble.

Vf builds a great kit. Buddy of mine got the ESS kit. Another solid kit. If I'm not mistaken the hardware is the same on both ESS and vf kits of the same hp rating. Other then the tune. Interesting enough I was told I do. Not have to brake in my vf sc but the ESS kit requires a 500 km break in period and an oil change.

Even though you can, I wouldn't. Each company makes a tune specific to their setup. Although the setups may seem similar, the tune for them would not necessarily be safe to run.

That's true even today in regards to the visual inspection. It will just depend on the operator. Unlike the sniffer, the visual is subjective to the person running the operation.

It would be easy for us to tune any supercharged M3 if we had access to the car but as a policy we do not re-tune other vendors kits. I would suggest working direct with VF for your tuning needs as they will be able to provide warranty and support of your product if needed, something im sure you would lose if a third party were to be involved with your kit.
