Third, how does the sound of the engine/exhaust change? Is the supercharger noticably loud? I am OFT tuned and I have that annoying aggressive VVT angle change that sounds rather metalic, is this still very apparent on pump gas?

Lastly, any issues people are facing? I believe I read someone had a 500ms-1000ms lag but this is a non-issue imo. Anything else or complaints in general? I've heard the pros hundreds of times but I like to nitpick a bit =)

Also since so many new memebrs are getting the ESC I am wondering on your impressions thus far! Please keep us proespective buyers filled in.

When will the next shipments be available for purchase? I am finishing finals in the next week and would love a summer project
The guy whose car wouldn't start had a hole in his air filter due to a rodent chewing through it. The guy with the faulty controller, well that's me. As for it getting resolved, Rob sent me a new controller and things are working flawlessly. In addition to this Rob's customer service has been exceptional, so if you're in the market for the ESC I wouldn't hesitate one bit


Sound really doesn't change and the "lag" is normal and honestly is nothing compared to traditional Forced Induction.


As for impressions....completely changed the fun factor of the car! The car's a blast to drive with the ESC
