John that looks awesome. I'd love to hear more about the performance gains. Do you have any videos of it? I'd love to know what the sound is like.

John, have you had any issues with those Orion V2 AEs?

Looks great John, glad you're happy with the power. How's your clearance with the strut bar? The bigger injectors only leave me with about 1/4 of clearance if that with the bar I'm currently using.
I believe the boost with the auto is around 6-7 psi. You have a 95mm pulley?

super clean engine bay, i LOVE that you can utilize the BMWP box and not have to slap some type of stupid open cone filter on there. congrats!

Yep the TS series all use the stock air box location so if it fits on a stock e46 it will fit on this. Very nice feature and it makes everything look like it belongs there...

Thanks! NP w strut bar clearance. I had to swap back to my oem pulleys instead of the Turner power pulleys so whatever size that is.

None whatsoever and have had them for years (knock on wood).

Thanks Guy, Fredo, Salty.

As for sound, my Magnaflow exhaust plus other mods already gave the car a bit of a low rumble and I could still set off alarms, so the SC adds just a bit more lower rumble. At startup for about a min the cars seems to stutter and not sound great, and the butterfly valve chirps. Then things settle down, a faint hint of SC whine (a good thing) but not much to speak of. And of course at high rpm its more of a growl. I get a bit of screech from my exhaust but that was there before and was on my list to address.

John, everyone with the TS I've talked to has the same issue on cold start. I think that's just the nature of the beast.
What of this chirp you speak of? I had a similar issue... never sorted it out as the noise went away after putting some mileage on it.

The pulley size I was asking is on the supercharger. It should be written on the face of it

You can still use your power pulleys. ESS says not to because they are concerned about under driving the water pump but I haven't heard of that being an issue with anyone. I put my UUC pulleys back on and Ryan (rkneeshaw) is running his Turner pulleys. I believe he dyno'd 10 additional HP on the upper end with the pulleys... he also dyno'd a 20 HP loss when he swapped his magnaflow exhaust for the Borla so you might be making some decent numbers...

There is a private Facebook page for ESS owners... here's the link on e46fanatics http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=1172377

Thx for the fb link. The chrip goes away after a min or so, so I'm not too worried, nor am I worried about the cold start idle. Maybe I'll post a video. I'll check the pulley size and post. Good to know re my exhaust. Interesting re TMS pulleys, when EAS did the install they asked for the OEM pulleys.
