theirs definitely pluses to that setup, theirs also negatives too.... in the end their is no right/wrong way... just different.... why you'd want to go through the expense of doing that however... i genuinely wonder??? To say its superior is just completely incorrect...

lots of cars use that setup but then.... lots dont....

i have always preferred Air to air.... for numerous reasons...

i wont lie however the the VF hardware is imo as good as it gets... their stuff is pure quality.....

if i was to do it ll again id try the g-power setup i think... purely for that Tq rich blower (but sadly no upgrade path).... or jump straight to vt-550 (cost sucks tho).... the Tq from the vt-500 to vt550 is more than the jump from stock to vt500.... The 550 kit is where the blower is finally getting into its efficiency range.. that giant unit needs boost, id guess it would be truly wonderful @ 12psi.

Excuse me OP for the slightly off topic talk.... Re the VF setup... not many z4m takers... but plenty of e46 m3 owners.... do a search on google....
