    Rms posted a group buy thread on here awhile ago, I thought it said that fitment wasn't an issue in an e30 with abs. Might want to check that thread, I believe there was a few pics of the setup on an e30

    If I had the cash, that's the kit I'd buy.

    The Eurosport kit is an intake manifold with aftercooler and supercharger bolted to it.

    Looks like this:

    if what will clear the ix booster? As for the C38, yeah I am sure doing the IC was a pain in the ass as far as tubing. Thankfully rubber flexible with the heat excanger. i think the intake on my RMS is going to be the tricky bit.

    I bet. I'm torn because the power response from the Eurosport kit is incredible, the aftercooling is equally so, and the price is insanely unbeatable.

    My only concern is if the kit will clear my IX booster.

    I'm running a Rotrex C38 CF blower on my S52 e30. It is Active Autowerkes stage II kit, with a smaller (higher boost) pulley. I call it stage 2.5...

    Makes 400whp+

    All the plumbing, be it intake, hot side, or cold side all needed to be custom made. Some of the AA plumbing was able to be cut up, reclocked, and otherwise utilized, but most of it was made from new materials.

    The power delivery is great, and its entirely possible to drive the car like a normal person and not know you have a rocket ship under your right foot.

    higher whp != better. Compare the torque curves of both stock kits. The Eurosport blows any CF blower out of the water.

    There are many of the TS kits making over 400whp with mods, just like your kit is making over 400whp with mods.
    Head work and a schrick exhaust cam will do the deal.

    There's a guy on BFC who's been making over that since 2007. What the hell are you talking about?

    We built about 10 of them.

    I have an RMS set up. Search my daily driver thread and you will see pics and all my info. I highly recommend a CF for the E30. The power comes on very smooth and facilitates traction. I put down 450whp and the car is pretty nasty. I am shooting for 500whp, hopefully will put down a bit over 500 when it is all said and done.

    true replacing the mani and all is easier but as I said price is a big issue. I bought the kit 2nd hand w/ 5K on it.
