Finally had ESS Supercharger TS2 installed, took me longer than expected to get the ECU back since the lady at FeDEx was lagging. Long story short, I felt I was driving a different car the minute I drove off the body shop where I had it installed. Enormous power under the hood, of course comparing to stock. As soon as I was done with the break in mark, I pushed it hard for a few time, the car was simply amzaing. And the sound of it was way better than before at high RPM. I have done a few mods lately, but this one is really a major transformation. I think I am done with mods for now, but maybe not:-) if I constantly log on to the forums here. Here are some pics, enjoy!

Thanks to:
Peter@velocity Motor, I love those VMR wheels, the coilovers and the rest of the parts...
Frank/aka mrfva for those nice LED license plate lights,
Has@ESS Tuning for the Supercharger,
Brian/aka JBSpeed for the CF grills, mirror covers, Emblems. The CF roof spoiler will be installed after the CNY..
Joe@Trinity for the RPI Ram Scoop,

I was quite hesitant about posting up pics as the engine bay looks like that. Thanks for reminding me of that

Thanks. According to the numbers given by ESS, it's 340hp with the TS2. I will have the car dynoed once I have the access to a Dyno.

Low boost forced induction systems on NA cars rock! Maintain the driveability of a NA motor, but bags more torque!

I LIKE!
