Stage 1 Supercharger system setup for 5.5-6.0 psi, V3-SC trim supercharger with air/water cooled cartridge inside cast intake manifold. High flow fuel Stage1 injectors with custom ECU flash. Easy to upgrade to stage 2.

All key components are 100% made in California. Supporting components such as flow matched injectors, radiators and water pumps are all aquired from German OEMs. This system has been fully road tested and dyno tuned on both the Mustang MD500AWD and in-house Dynojet 224XLC dynamometers with and without engine load.

VF engineers spent over 12 months software testing the BMW Bosch and Siemens ECUs and resolved &65533;stalling and MAF issues&65533; faced by other supercharger systems. Software flash technology and latest BMW file versions have all been employed to provide the cleanest and the most reliable method of software installation. Testing the software included extensive road and dyno test cycles, with acceleration and deceleration tests for driveability smoothness and ECU fuel management. All test cars were put through long term full throttle testing in conditions varying from wet cold climates to hot dry Arizona desert temperature for safe-optimal air fuel ratios and knock activity monitoring. Competantly written ECU software has allowed VF to fully explore the potential of the BMW engine, making over 40% more power in most applications.

VF chose to mount the Vortech supercharger with an in-house CNC machined aluminum bracket system. The unit is positioned in line with the original serpentine belt which is replaced with a longer OEM belt. The key to this design is that the OEM active-spring belt tensioner remains fully functional and eliminates belt slip or the need to manually tension the belt. The supercharger air ducts are custom molded in-house from plastic to give an OEM appearance, quality and fit. The incorporated Bosch boost overrun system is designed for smooth off-throttle cruising and deceleration with clean emissions. The crankcase ventilation sytem is designed to cope with positive pressure and high flow OEM injectors are supplied to fit as direct replacements without modification to the injector rail. A removable plastic air box is provided with the K&N induction filter for those who use their vehicles in persistently wet climates.The VF supercharger system remains fully OBD2 compliant and is supported by a 1 year unlimited mileage warranty on the product only. Installation can be performed in approximately 14-16 hours and is non-intrusive, allowing it to be fully reversible.



Some other facts about the VF kit versus the competition:

-The Vortech supercharger is a much larger unit and therefore has a superior flow rate over the competition.
-The Vortech unit [centrifugal] runs at approximately half the impeller speed when compared to a typical planetary unit at like-for-like boost levels.
-The Vortech unit is capable of creating up to 20psi [application dependent] and therefore has greater potential for higher power levels.
-The Vortech unit does not need its own separate oil cooling system with reservoir and extra radiator.
-Vortech units have been on the market for over 15 years in the US, many many times longer than the competition.
-VF's air/water cooling system is far superior to any air/air intercooler which is why VF makes 460whp on 91 octane without water/meth injection.
-VF's Stage2 makes the same power as the competitor kit but with less boost and less octane. VF only needs 8psi and 91 octane.
