Just a question, did ESS up your rev limiter to 8400rpm like the NA software?

Looking at the first dyno graphs it looks like they kept the stock 8000rpm limit. But since this is a central fugal blower revving up to 8400rpm would probably give a huge bump in power.
Could be worth asking ESS for a reflash, cheap and easy way to get the most out of the kit.

If its safe for NA it should be fine for boost as well.

Killing me is an understatement I haven't driven it since it was NA, but I have been following reviews of people that have I think the car is very close to being ready. Roman was waiting for some intercooler plumbing to be completed and then some fine tuning. It's killing me, but I know it's going to be perfect coming from the creators of the kit. I will definitely provide a nice review of VT2 when I get the car back. I would guess the latter part of July if all goes well.....fingers crossed. The charger is quiet, but I like that slight whistle when he revved the engine and the swooosh sound the air makes I think it makes enough sound that someone would wonder whats under that hood look forward to hearing about your car when it's finished. Cheers

Maybe I missed the post about it, but where does the intercooler mount? I'd assume it goes in the nose in front of the radiator behind the bottom grill.
