AA stage 3

Does anyone have a stage 3 or may be a stage 2 s/c kit to their m3. Please share some feedbacks as to the reliability and the power curve of the kit. And also installation wise, how long did it take. Thanks.

Ken

Have an AA stage 2 Turbo kit that makes 350 at the wheels on low boost ( 8/9 psi ) and 420+ at the wheels on a conservative high boost of 13/14 psi........The turbo starts spooling around 2800 rpm and did i mention the car is a blast to drive.............

I believe that the SC'd E46 M3's have a lot of traction problems. Talk to Martin (ILLM3), and he'll tell you all about it.

Im interested too in seeing some thoughts, especially compared to a modded pcar... sounds like they are finally harnessing some real power out of the E46 M's now...

Given using stock internals, i think the stage 3 ( 46o whp ) is really goood enough for me.

You do not want 4.10 gears on a S/C car.

Wow 460? That would be fun to drive.. If I were to keep my M, I'd have to do something like that!

Stock gears are a must on a SC'd M3, i will reserve my judgement, but i will say i would never sc another M3 ever again!
