ESS S85 Vt1 Supercharger Kit on BMW M6 Coupe: first one in the world!

Hey guys sorry for the long wait. I have had family come into town and was not around the computer. Well for the review. fficeffice" />
First of let me tell you guys that ESS is the real deal. From the moment I spoke with Roman on the phone to coordinate when I would be able to drop off the M6 to the time the car was ready, he was constantly keeping me up to date.

Fitment of the ESS SC is unreal! The way they installed the kit looks as though it just came back from BMW. Perfect CLEAN fitment and OEM look. Let me tell you I had butterflies in my stomach once I got the keys back and I started her up. I sat down, put the car in neutral, and push "Start" button! The sound that came out of the car was UNREAL! The nice but loud enough whistle was an amazing sound to hear! The blow-off valve gives off a very nice suttle wishing sound between shifts. I love driving by "Ricers" and shifting right next to them and the look they give you is the "WTF" is coming out of that car look.
The car pulls very strong throughout all gears. The way the car throws you back into your seat once you punch it. The car now has enough power that 99% of cars that I see on the streets can really keep up.
As far as any races. Lets just say during targa the M6 took down a few top named car's such as ferries and Vett's.

So there's just one open intake on the right? Wonder if heat soak is an issue with that open design.
