I hope so. It has been a nightmare getting the kit and then my shop received no paperwork with it. GSM will not allow any DIY and the shop must be trained by them to do it.

yeah GSM is awesome, they retrofit my mechtech kit and got it to work like an AA kit. If you buy a used mechtech kit like i did dont take it to mechtech go to GSM.

Interesting how they are using a FMIC wiht a S/C.

I'd be interested to see how much PSI loss they had with and without that FMIC.

So I'm guessing the difference with their kits is the fact they are using these different types of superchargers?

Whats the pricing?

amelnick · #12 (**permalink**) 09-14-2002, 10:56 AM

difference is the supercharger which produces boost much earlier. Kit is built with much more failsave features. 2 bov's. If you lose the sc belt you can reinstall the stock belt . Sc is clutched and does not run at idle. FMIC looses about 1lb but it is compensated for so the kit still puts out 6-6.5 psi. Price I paid was 6500.00 shipped to my door.

wow..looks nice
can't wait for the dyno results

Why does the kit use 2 bov's? Are these only for e46s?

amelnick · #15 (**permalink**) 09-16-2002, 01:29 AM

2 bov just for safety. Kits are 4 e46 only
