Figured it makes sense to create a single thread to track projects and events as they relate to the 550i. Will try to post as photos and videos of stuff along the way.

Hey, what up man. Hope things are well on your end. Yeah, one project is the Stage 2 ESS supercharger. It looks pretty well built man, you're welcome to swing by and have a look at the parts if you want. Here are a few photos:

I can't wait to see the numbers after this Brian! The SC with your headers is really going to make your car unique. Keep us updated with pics throughout the week and we're looking forward to your reviews of the car afterwards. All the best bud!
