Notice how that is the holdup with all of the forced induction situations. They could make more turbos and SCers if they could actually get into the ECU better. The engine management system is locked up tight I tell you.

The IS-F is solid the way it is but they made it damn tough to modify in any easy way. Any supercharger kit will require changing the internals or it will be such low boost that it is a joke anyway.
Well, I don't know if you have modded your 335i or not. But if yours is stock, then any IS-F will leave your 335i in the dust with no sweat. 300 hp vs. 415 hp? I ran my SC against the stock 335i and the 335i isn't very impressive in stock form.

agreed, those are huge gains esp. for exhaust. most RWHP gains for exhaust are in the 5 HP (or less) unless the OEM exhaust is extremely restrictive...but still, that's just unheard of!

Interesting to look back in time. Aftermarket supercharger looks to be dead on arrival for ISF. Disappointing but not surprising.
