well not sure if its fake, as its there, but alas I trust nothing from china, usually its unregulated crap! you buy it and then within a month KABOOM!!!

dead SC and a more dead Z4 after sucking up all the cheap metal bits!

then when you call the company its strangely disappeared from the web and the phone number is no longer viable!




no part from china will ever find its way on any of my cars..... well unless it came on their to begin with.....


oh yea let’s not forget it’s been a while and the guy has not re-posted so I bet you it’s just phishing going on!

they said without rewriting the factory rpm, the factory ecu in order to smoothly shift, horsepower will decline?

can i make a sneaky guess @ the poster being the company in question ;-)
I think it's a case of the automatic transmission not being able to handle the power. The ESS kit for the automatic M54 is capped at 6.5 psi.

Hi,

This company is headquartered in Taiwan, not China. Good website content... http://www.armaspeed.com/eng/

I know what you mean though... but that's yesterday and today... tomorrow is right around the corner. Is anything of quality nowadays not made (in whole or in part) in Asia somewhere? It's all about what the consumer is will to pay for the labour costs to build something. And we outsource our engineering and fabrication skills too to make that process easier. And pretty soon we won't have anything to outsource. Then, thirty years later "Made in China" will mean a product of the highest possible quality (just like the Japanese have managed since 1945). And in 100 years, our great grandshildren are going to wonder what all the fuss was about... as they hope some of the assembly line work gets outsourced from Asia back to North America so things are cheaper for the Asian consumer.

So, how much is Stage 2 and where can I buy this thing? Will this work with the N52B30 in a 3.0si?
