ess supercharge @ bimmersport in toronto
Guys, summers here and I'm considering. I hear from John @ Bimmersport that a black M roadster has done it as well.
Anythoughts? Alternatives? How's service at Bimmersport? Thanks guys.

This is for a VT1 right ? I don't think there are any locations in Ontario that can do the VT2 yet

I contemplated getting the AA tune via Bimmersport and asked a few members here their thoughts on Bimmersport. They advised I go elsewhere and I trust their advice.
Bimmersport gets good reviews on MaxBimmer forums but if you google their name you will find not many good ones. A member on here had his ESS kit installed by lenys auto. I am going there to get my alignment. They can do cars with coilovers. http://www.lenysautomega.com/ |

Thanks for the advice guys. It is the vt1. They said the vt2 has some issues.
Just seeing a few guys in the USA with supercharged cars made me abit curious.

I think he just meant "blown" as in "with forced induction" aka supercharged.

Was reading the other thread on the ess kit and seemed many loved the vt1. Seems some already have the vt2 running.
Should we wait for the vt2 to get more reviews...... If u check on the ess website. Bimmersport is one of the authorized dealers.... So what's the standard on that?

In first gear you need to apply throttle with foot's pinkie. 2nd gear it is a little easier, but still tough to drive smoothly. 3rd gear with sport mode is the mode of choice for merging onto a highway from an on-ramp. 4th gear+ is good with sport mode for improving the feel of acceleration. On the highway, I always use sport mode in 6th gear. Just making 1-2psi at 80mph in 6th, so its barely faster than stock

I was looking at the ESS website and they have this ECA flash in which we can do it ourselves?
Any thoughts on that?

That would be me, the black M roadster. They installed the VT1 on my car 3 years ago. It's still running just fine and it's plenty of power for me. IMHO, I'd go for it.

I'm in for an FI section. My Z had an ASA system on it when I picked it up form Budd's in Hamilton, always interested to hear what other guys are doing with FI cars.
