If you want 6 cylinders, save up that extra couple grand and buy yourself an M3. That way you won't have $12,000 stuck into a car that's worth $6,000. With the M3 you'll get a way nicer interior, plus suspension and brakes that a built to handle that kind of power. You can put as much power as you want into a car, but you need a way to control it, otherwise it's kind of pointless. So with the extra couple grand you save up, save another 2-3k for big brakes, another 1-2k for misc. suspension parts, etc... | I got a clubsport and I say my interior > a e36 M3. | | | | | 08-15-2005, 07:00 AM | #64 | | Member Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: South Florida Posts: 32 |
Compare the HP numbers on the turbo to the S/C and check out which one hits first and which one has more power, I think you will agree that the Eaton S/C hands down beats the turbo every time. Any how, after talking to some guys at Summerblaze, I want to run a group buy for the S/C at $1,999. I need at least 5 people, We already have one as of last night so email me if your ready to do this. email: jag@koperformance.com Please include year , model, name and day time phone number. thanks Joseph Ghattas (888)-581-1035 KO Performance | | | | | 08-15-2005, 02:33 PM | #65 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |
That price sounds very tempting. My questions are, what does the completely installed system look like when in it's final design? The pictures you show have a mess of wires going everywhere. Show me simple installation instructions and a final version installed and I'm a believer.

DASC makes a big deal out of retaining stock highway mpg. Would the KO be similar, only operating 20% of the time to conserve fuel?
*Edit* Also, I am having a tough time comparing the dyno charts for the KO with those of the DASC. I don't think the DASC charts on their website are measuring at the wheels. Does anyone here know how to compare the two? __________________

That is a killer price  ! How much does the upgrade kit cost? | | | | | 08-18-2005, 03:05 AM | #69 | | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Posts: 2 |
I hate to burst your happy little bubbles BUT this Joe guy is the same guy that screwed many Z3 owners over his "829.00 Supercharger". He's the same guy that had a the www.z3power.com web site and touted his cheap s/c. Just email Shawn Fogg sfogg@attglobal.net about him, he can tell about all about his POS S/C, I'm frankly suprised his alive after taking some many members money. | | | | | 08-18-2005, 03:11 AM | #70 | | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Posts: 2 |

Good warning but I read thru all those roadfly posts and there was no damning evidence that I could see. What were the serious problems? Not shipping, shipping incomplete goods or f-ing up an engine? Can you be specific? The shipping things are part of being a startup. It would suck yes, but it hardly sounds like a scammer. You get what u pay for. My .02. __________________

KO performance is a legit company. I hope this guy is legit. It sounds like a really good deal. | | | | | 08-19-2005, 08:27 AM | #74 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Europe Posts: 136 |
