Question about ESS vs. G-Power

Saebb · 02-17-2011, 09:36 AM

Hi everybody!

First: Thanks for showing all the great cars to us. Love it.

Second: I have an reccuring question when I stroll through the forums. It seems that ESS superchargers are preferred over G-Power / ASA superchargers. Is there any concrete reason for that? E.g. driving comfort or smoothness or perhaps just the prices? Would highly appreciate an answer.

Thx in advance

because internet forums are full of fan boys who will argue to death why the product they bought is better than the competitors.

.... and the special deals people get for writing positive reviews about product.

The ESS kit is the most simple/best looking kit out there thats why. Also, it makes alot of power for the boost its running - around 550whp+ for a 625 kit. For example:

and thats only at 6psi with a 600 kit

I havent heard much about the GPOWER kit in the states, ESS kits are allover here.

heres a video of the two racing, with ESS coming out on top:

oh and regards to the above comment - yeah it may be true that thats the case with people people, but I dont even have a blower on my car, and sure as hell am not getting a special deal for the comment I just wrote..so i hope this helps..

Def a well designed kit... I would consider purchasing an E92 and immediately removing the engine.

Low Compression Pistons
Forged Rods
Head Stud Kit
Headers, complete Exhuast
Updated Fuel System if needed.

14-16 PSI ESS KIt / Direct Meth Injection = 700+ WHP Daily Driven

I like your analogy ...
