True, but if you look over the past year, you will see that maybe 5 RMS kits have sold, but over 15 AA c30/c38 kits. Osh may not be a great business man, but his kits are much nicer then AA the kits.

I've had a custom tune from him in my car for a while now, and it blows the TMS chip for the same mods out of the water. No flat spots, and put down 10whp/8wtq more! AFRs are simply perfect!

5 super charger kit is a lot IMO. If guys want a kit, it is easy enough to find online, used.

I'm running one as well.

The side of the charger is very tight fitment. If you keep the factory rad then it will not fit. You will have to modify it on the charger side or go all aluminum. Everything is a very tight fitment once installed. ABS would need to be moved back and power steering bottle would need to be relocated. That's what I had to do and a few other things. I have A/C as well.
hope this help. I will take more pic once I have time to paint it. Blast to drive and worth the money when you spank someone. They always go then me

I wonder if it would clear OK with the M42 radiator...

So you have the stage II, how has your durability been? Any issues besides some relocation?

I only drive it when I can get away from the wife and kid. No fun with them in it. I haven't driven it much so can't really say how reliable it is. If you want to keep a/c then custom bracket would need to be made. Nothing major when installing. Pretty straight forward. Also have AA software and you go with stage 2+ going to a colder plug would be good.

I have a question but it might be dumb. Wouldn't it be better to run a stand alone ecu instead of a chip(that's the dumb question I think it most ceartanly would be)? Has any one done that with a supercharged car?

Standalone is always better.

Even on an N/A car.

Jordan over on E30tech just S/C his S52, putting down like 390 whp I think.

He was saying it's actually very tractable power.

Indeed. Even in pouring down rain its completely manageable so long as you don't go looking for the limits of traction... because you will find them quickly. I daily drive it, have been for months... it drives like factory until you get into the throttle... then hoooooold on. :p

Currently on 235/40R17 Direzza's at all 4 corners and -3camber all around.

no, it wont, you'll have to swap the rad. Vortech blowers FTW, powerdyne blower will not clear the ABS unit. The aftercooler fits fine in e30 and the air to water cooler should tuck under the bumper nicely. So dissapointed I had a stage2 kit for my m50 and it didnt fit.
