The graphs above are at the wheels on a DJ though. We'll put it on the DD when we do one here.

Ouch 9K for 120whp? I'm sure it'll turns some heads when people hear the turbo spooling on a 530 haha.
And $9K for that is relatively cheap when you consider a good header and race cat set up for an M5 will retail for about the same price and only give you about 30rwhp.

Again, I'm pretty sure its 120hp to the crank, not the wheel, so about 100rwhp.
And $9K for that is relatively cheap when you consider a good header and race cat set up for an M5 will retail for about the same price and only give you about 30rwhp.

True its not much and about right for a boost kit.

My Ride: A Car faster than yours.....
Ill know more when I dyno one on the DD what it really goes to at the wheels. I wouldnt doubt that though since 5psi on a 6 can make some serious power. On my 4 banger, I went from 137whp to 280whp with 8lbs of boost.

Here's more info from ESS's website for the Stage 2: http://www.esstuning.com/default.asp?c=sho...=229&id=269
You can see the hp numbers towards the bottom and those are crank hp.
