According to Roman "Air is taken in from the drivers side air duct directly below the blower."

That's correct. You can see the air filter in this photo that Larry posted.

The install is very simple. I could help your local shop install it by email/phone support.

ESS Supercharged GS Bildelers having a little fun

This gives you an idea of the testing that went into the ESS kit.

mvagusta · 01-30-2010, 11:52 PM

Is the whining noise overpowering? At regular steady speed say 45mph between 2 to 4k rpm do u hear a whine?

What's wrong with him driving? The car doesn't go straight and it always go side ways even when he's on a straight track? Am I missing something but it annoys the hell outta me to watch...

That video was from a drift event. My point in posting it was to show how much beating the kit takes on the GS M3

Cracker · 02-01-2010, 08:44 AM

Does this kit have that horrible belt screech/slip when you shift hard in a manual? My gt500 did this bad even with the 10 rib belt... it drove me nuts. Also, hows the heat management with the car, meaning if you sit at a light for 5 mins is going to start to pull timing/hp

CSanto · 02-01-2010, 09:09 AM

We need more vids of this thing in action!
I wonder how it would fair against stock turbos, and stock GTR's/Z06s.

P.s. This package is amazing.

IND-Distribution · 02-01-2010, 09:17 AM

ESS uses a factory sized belt, and while their supercharger does provide a small amount of noise, Vortech's helical gear design allows for substantially quieter operation than what most people are accustomed to.

How will driving in the rain affect this?
