General location you're looking might help narrow down some choices
I'm looking for someone a bit closer to home for my install, as I want to be able to visit if any problems arise, otherwise I was thinking of asking Ross at RBM.

As long as it’s in England / Wales - excuse for a roadtrip. In Leamington, so midlands based ideally.
RMB is on the shortlist - he’s done a 3.0 supercharger install.

You thought about doing it yourself? It's quite easy and you'll learn a bit about the car which is always helpful.
It should come with very detailed instructions, and if anything like ESS, it's a pretty easy job. The hardest part was running the intercooler lines, which I am not sure your kit has?

I still might attempt it myself, instructions are pretty good. There is an appeal in just getting it done vs. Having car off the road for a while (it’s my daily driver and I’d have to do the work in dads garage)Vanne wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 12:43 am You thought about doing it yourself?

I struggle to read these threads, I'm so close to pulling the trigger ordering myself an ESS kit.
Look forward to hearing your results.

Maybe speak to Autobahn Racing? BMW Specialist who have quite a few race cars? They're based in Halesowen (Bham)

Not a BMW specialist, but Rogue Motorsport also do a lot of race cars, engine swaped conversions, had 2GR V6 Charged MR2 in the Britcar which was pretty cool. Also they're really nice bunch. https://www.roguemotorsport.com

What ever option is cheaper, I often fly to the states so can pick it up personally if needed. I explored the ESS kit a few years ago with the Gen1 kit where they locked out the valvetronic, Glad to see with the gen 3 all the niggles have been sorted.

If it's anything like the size of the ASA/G-Power/Infinitas kit, then you are not getting that on a plane without paying for a pallet in the hold
My box was 42kg and 800x450x400mm

after removing mine twice for service / upgrade reasons i absolutely kick myself for paying someone hundreds to install this.... time consuming but not difficult at all. In my case i had a two year warranty if i got it installed at an approved centre which i actually used when the S/C spat its guts out so i guess when i think about it, it paid for itself as the blower in my case is over 2k.

Apart from rod bearings and a general service , what other work is needed before installing a supercharger. Does the clutch need uprating or is oem up to the job ? Also drive shafts , diff . Or any other bits that need uprating apart from brakes and suspension? Ess 525 needs to happen in the summer , just need to know how much more I need to spend on other bits
