The biggest issue is cooling and top end power with a twin screw and no intercooler. If they can keep the oil temps down and have good strong pulls all the way to the top of the RPM range I will be impressed. Another issue is knock and if it has any considering the huge increase in low end torque. These are a way higher concern to me than how much weight reduction he has done.
does she fit in the Trunk?
Very comfortable with our oill cooler/radiator solution Keeping things cool.

Sportsguy83 said it for me.

I'm not trying to discredit you, I have a lot of respect for what you've done with your car, aswell the information you provide to the community. I just don't want to see people read the reviews here and expect the results to be the same, only to be disappointed and start calling people out.

We'll get her plus 2 ton Tina and make a few laps around the track. Gonna have to go fast to fend off all the guys chasing us down trying to get with our ladies lol.

Edit: On a serious note I don't think Robi has anything to extensive that is out of the reach of your average guy/girl and basic tools in their own garage. It is unfair to ask him to put his car back to stock for those results.

This is awesome to hear. My e30 (235whp/225wtq 2800lbs)is exactly even with my buddies z4M , and I'm looking for e30 power with my frs because of the weight similarities and the fact that I'm getting rid of the e30.

I know but pointing out that people got worried about 250lbs of weight reduction and that he is running E85. Those are simple things that I think are minimal in the grand scheme of a new supercharger kit being test. And I was trying to lighten the mood of this thread a little. This is a car forum no need to get over serious about it the kit will come out sooner or later and everyone will have the chance combine supporting mods to get the best results for them.

The closest E85 gas station is over a ten hour drive from me, each way. Clearly that's not a simple thing and many people are in similar situations. The weight redux is subjective, some people are willing to take out the spare tire, some aren't. The rest of the parts can get even more polarizing. Not every kit is going to be installed on track only cars. My car might never see the track, yet I'm still shopping power adders.

I really wasn't trying to send this thread down the tube. I'm very excited about this kit and love that it's being tested by someone that's actually going to put it through it's passes.

I'm hoping the addition of an intercooler will yield similar results to the gains of E85. Robi, do you or your tuner have any thoughts on this?
