And, I agree if you have the additional money and are near a ESS certified shop to do the VT-2 version, it makes more since to proceed dirrectly to go...but is the additional expense under the same circumstances that much different? I mean, isn't the only modification of the VT-2 is removing the front end and installing the cooler and duct work? I was surpised that the power gain off the dyno from the VT-1 add was less than I had expected, so if the VT-2 was available I would have added it.

I have the VT-1 and think the difference between and OEM set up and VT-1 is worth the money. The pull in 1st and 2nd is incredible. It will load up in low speed turns on track day because of the power curve...but I can control that by keeping my rpm's up and getting a smoother shifter or shift point. I can now maintain speed with a V06's on the straightaways where as before I could not. I have had an issue with some boost leakage which has hampered preformance...and I am still trouble shooting this point.

Z06's?

Pretty interesting that 2 more people came out of the woodwork that have an ESS kit, glad to see more opinions
