The blower is installed and working well. At a roll in 1st gear if I put it to the floor, the tires break lose at 2800 rpm's. Keep in mind I just installed 4 Bridgestone Pole Position tires 2 months ago. I do not have the software installed yet. Maybe this week... Before I installed the blower my clutch was starting to slip. After 2 weeks of driving the clutch can no longer "hold on " after 3500 rpm's. It goes in next week to get a new BMW clutch installed. I looked at Dinan's new clutch which sounds great, but again their pricing puts it out of range for my pocket book.

The parts took many weeks to receive. They said they were back ordered for weeks due to the demand? The install was not straight forward and takes more than a mechanic that installs perfectly fitting BMW parts. The directions were short with no pictures. (I sent them pictures of my install to pass along to future buyers)

The sales person was in the states the last two weeks and did not have dial in capability to get to email. I would expect a reply this week. He was here in the states singing papers for their US office in Florida.

Send me an email for more info.

I also ordered their kit for an Australian 535i V8 and it took two attempts to get the whole kit.
Then the engine mount to fit the s/c was incorrect fitment and the a/c hose had to re routed but this was NOT supplied in the kit. All in all it took a skilled mechanic a month of my time and money to fix all the problems in fitting the kit.
No software was supplied only a fuel regulator; such that now the standard EMC is retarding the ignition and the traction control is erroring all due to the boast and the engine is too rich due to the fuel regululator and the fuel pumps working too hard.
ALL in all still havea lot of extra work and expense ahead of me and no one is answering me emails !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has anyone actually installed ESS blower? Just curious.
BTW, Revhigh: they don't reply my email. Apparently, they don't appreciate my business. How're you doing with them?
