Just a heads up on the TS2 systems. ESS purchased the last of the available and remaining cores from the company that made the TS2 body and main supercharger component. That particular company is no longer making them any longer and ESS has all the remaining stock out there that will ever be available.
What does this mean? Once the stock of TS2 systems is out of inventory at ESS, then that's it, no more will ever be available. Period!
So all that being said, this is now a dwindling supercharger system and will (eventually) be a rare system to own/find. When I was at the shop while they were working on my car, I saw about 2 dozen cores sitting on the shelf. They may have had more around the shop but that is just what I personally saw there. From what I gathered talking to them, their main focus moving forward will be on the VT1 kits.
I really have no idea what I am doing
