Gintani E92 M3 Stage 2+ Supercharged System, Vbox and Comparo Runs...
I'm finally boosted! I have been driving the car for a week, and have done quite a bit of spirited driving, the car is SCARY FAST! I couldn't be more happier with the results. The Customer service from everyone at Gintani is fantastic, they really took care of me, and kept me informed through the entire install process. Alex, Arno, Josh, and G were just as excited as I was, they are quality people who understand what enthusiasts want out of their BMW's, THANK YOU!
The pictures I've seen of the kit don't quite do it justice, I must say the hardware is top notch, well built, well crafted, and the fitment is fantastic, they flat out did an amazing job.
A few of the pluses I like about the kit is they choose to utilize an 8 Rib pulley and a crank pulley that is independent of the accessories. The charge cooler is massive, the PCV pieces are extremely well built. They also built me a custom W/M tank located in the trunk, with a level sensor, they installed gauges for me, along with a CF gauge pod, and they took the time to relocate the cigarette lighter, talk about CS!
I went with the Stage 2+, the "+" meaning 1psi more than Stage 2, it's at 7.5psi, with the addition of a WM kit. Eventually I will go with 8.5psi, and a retune. The car drives just like stock, no hiccups, fast DCT shifts, great daily drivability as well, even more important the car has performed from day one. I will post up Vbox graphs very soon as well!
Here's a vid that does a better job at explaining/showing what the car has been able to achieve
Enjoy!

Updated with Vbox Graphs
60-100 MPH
60-130 MPH on a almost perfectly flat road, slight decline -0.43%
0-60 MPH & 1/4 mile Run on a almost perfectly flat road, slight decline -0.24%
**Note when you read 0-60, 100 or 1/4 mile times, etc. in the Vbox software it will not show you the "1' rollout time." The "1' foot rollout function is used for most magazine times, and for 1/4 mile tracks. The times you see intially after the runs on the Vbox screen will not match the graphs you read after, so I used another program which does include the 1' rollout so you can see your results as they intially appeared on the Vbox Screen.
11.41 ET with "1' Roll Out"
0-60 and 0-100, with "1' Roll Out" as they intially appear on the Vbox screen.

Congrats brotha!!!!
The vid, everything from it's content, music, and the way it was put together is superb. Has the feel of a trailer to a action packed movie, pun intended. It's like a lil teaser of what's going to take place on the streets of Mexico. Looking forward to more vids, runs, reviews and fun times!
The kit looks amazing! The cooler in the mani is huge, and so is the heat exchanger.
You running dual nozzles for the meth? What size are they?
And wow, you WRECKED the modded m5 and 997tt!
