Supercharger reliability....what's the verdict?

LarThaL · 05-05-2011, 05:42 PM

How are motors holding up? How about clutches?

Don't own a supercharger yet but from what I've seen it looks like these companies have really figured it out.
If your not worried about your warranty superchargers are they way to go!

ESS VT1

Put mine on April 2010 ... 7,000 on the SC and 10,000 on the car with no problems.

Has anyone upgraded / stiffened any bushings, etc with all the now power?
I'd imagine that the car probably wasn't necessarily designed with 600 HP in mind so some things might need to be upgraded?

The search feature is your friend.

There is tons of information on here about supercharing the M3, including reliability.
