List price new for a new non-intercooled ESS VT-1 550 is $6800 and the intercooled VT2-595 is $7400. At around $8k new, you can get the VT2-625 for $8300.

Does this come with everything needed for the install, except the tune?

I have spoken with him at length and was told, Yes it does. You will only need a BPM tune for the 595 pulley

Thanks!! Guys I’m not selling this for $3500. I keep getting messages $3500-3800 I’d honestly rather keep it for my next m3. Price is $4,000. This is a bolt on 500whp mod!!! Quit being cheap and losing races to everyone in our no torque n/a m3s

My friend, I would have bought this weeks ago if you had bothered getting back to me on the few simple questions via PM.

To answer your question I would guess you would get a pulley from Ess. I get so many tire kickers when you asked me where to get a 550 pulley from I honestly thought you would never buy the kit. I do answer everything through text when someone asks questions as I stated in my original post text me with questions. If you are serious with buying it text me with any other questions. Thanks. 7242371802.

So, you had this on your car for 5 months and put 12k miles on it? Am I reading this right?

[//M3ftw]

[QUOTE=//M3ftw;22297778]I bought this used on the forums off a guy in Canada. I ran it all summer and put about 4k miles on it. I’m surprised how difficult people make it trying to sell stuff on here. I feel like we are all older doing pretty good in life owning an M3 but I feel like I’m on the Evo forums selling to teenagers. Wonder how the gtr forum is that’s what I want next haha.

I'm not sure I understand the reason behind using your point of reference in replying to my post, but if you have a problem with a potential buyer vetting the seller, and item for sale, then it's probably safe to safe you're not the right person to do business with. My question revealed you are the second owner, something you did not disclose, and you are frustrated because of that and felt the need to undermine me? I'm certain there's more you aren't caring to share, as you seem quite rattled based on your reply and look like the teenager here.

Honestly, I guess I would be frustrated too if I had $4k tied up :/ Oh, and now that I feel offended, and to answer your question, I am no longer interested in sharing a higher end transaction with a person who carries themselves and handles business in the way you do. Grow up and go buy your GTR. Well...you might have to sell this first GLWS and lay off the monsters guy.

I’m rattled because I’m 99% sure you weren’t interested in the supercharger and are coming on my thread trying to stir something up about the mileage.
You could of said highly interested but just wondering about the mileage.

Bump it up guys no more drama lol!!!

Listen, the only drama here is what you had created. You stirred the pot, now you have to deal with what happens when the water boils over. Your insecurities got the best of you and were too busy reading between the lines. It was a simple question to help me connect the dots because I found it extreme to put 12,000 miles on a kit in 5 months, albeit not impossible.

I also don't have to conform to your "preferred" way of presenting a question. I can ask what I did, or anything else for that matter, any way I want. It's up to YOU how YOU choose to respond, and you chose to respond like an unprofessional, pompous, nervous teenager, who is now exposed. Move on guy, and let me help you...don't respond. Only way you're going to sweep this one under the rug.

You win the keyboard warrior battle lol. Thanks for the free bumps.

A title I'd prefer over the one you earned, Leslie. "Forum bully"

Just to teach you another lesson while I'm at it, fwiw...a bump is technically not useful and typically wasted unless the thread is carried over to a second or third page. In this case, using it wisely as I suggested, a bump will bring the thread back to the top of the first page.

In this event, over the course of my lesson, your thread only made it several ticks down the first page. So, your politeness in the form of "thank you" for the bump isn't warranted as your thread wasn't going anywhere, and with how thirsty I can see you are for this sale, you were bumping it soon anyways lol

I've enjoyed this. Also priced too high. ~$3500 and this is gone. Glws

Bump it up since my buddy above hasn’t done it for me for awhile!!

God? It's good to see that you have faith. I mean...you'll need all the help you can get. After all, you're trying to sell a 550 kit with 12k miles on it and are the second owner, at the price many 550 kits with 3-6k miles on them and have only own owner, sold for on here.

This kit was on my car prior if anyone has questions

You have it all wrong my friend, I sold this guy his kit , it. Was originally mine , all the research pertaining to the kit was journaled and posted on here just search . Ess machines their pulleys with a different offset so all you need is the correct pulley size and a machinist (I believe 102mm ) , or just call ess , Spend a couple hundred bucks .

Rest assured the seller is A1 honest guy , amazing to work with .

Search 595 pulley and you?ll find all my research and quotes from ess direct. Tuning and heat soak all confirmed ok with NO Problem by ess , bpm and frank smith tuning . This setup is perfect, the seller has integrity . Buy with confidence .

The time and money it took to sort out it all out, source the pulley , it?s def a deal at 4K , the manifold is painted which was a 1k upgrade, good luck finding a 595 pulley.... I thought the intercooler on a 625 system would be an advantage , but i saw very little difference on street application . After having both system (and my 625 system is for sale too) I would be more then happy with this one and spend the difference elsewhere . I?ve had nothing but problems with my Vt2 625 . Boost leaks etc . My installer was a butcher hammered the 550 pulley off ruining the ribs, (So that?s where the 550 pulley is ) see pics attached . then sold this 595 pulley for 450Cad ripping me off. He strung me along telling me it was one thing then another until I started spending $$$$ swapping unnecessary parts . Then he sold me a busted p3 gauge , the whole experience was terrible . If you search my posts I have an extra bypass for sale now too.

Problem now solved No Thanks MFanatik or Jon Wilson from Toronto/ Mississauga , karma will catch up to you my friend . Avoid this guy/ installer At all costs he lacks after sale service.

Bump for a Great setup took months to sort ,
Bump for mike benvo and bpm for the custom tune.

Thanks I highly appreciate you coming on here clarifying info on the kit. I would honestly love to see how close this is in a race against a 625 kit. I bet it’s pretty damn close.

I would think so , especially in the cool weather.
The 550 Kit would be the preferred choice for Meth.
This 595 kit with methanol would be awesome.

How did adding an intercooler lead to boost leaks?
