Looking for the ultimate performance modification? This ESS tuning supercharger kit will turn your small 3.2L inline 6 cylinder into a horsepower freak, with the pull of a blown V8.  This ESS S54 VT1-445-550 supercharger system uses the infamous Vortech V3Si supercharger unit capable of 775HP.

With an extremely efficient design and perfectly tuned software the ESS S54 M3 VT Series supercharger system delivers supercar performance along with the quality and reliability ESS customers have come to expect. This kit is designed as a 100% bolt on package with no irreversible custom fabrication to the vehicle.

All ESS supercharger kits are tried and tested up to 50,000 miles on the street and track, on multiple cars, throughout the world.  This guarantees you are getting a kit that will hold together for the life of your vehicle.  ESS even goes a step further with more tests like 60+ hours on ESS load dyno, full load top speed endurance testing on the German Autobahn, and final certification laps on the Nurburgring.
