Close to 500 crank hp IF you spring for the TS3 which involves new engine internals and is no longer a "simple" bolt on kit. A good bit less if you only get a TS1 or TS2. The ESS TS line has more (off the shelf) potential than the AA C38 but at a correspondingly higher price. FWIW, on my 330 with ZHP cams and the TS2 @ 8.5 psi, I'm probably sitting around 370 crank hp (+/-, I'm waiting for cooler weather to do my final dyno run).

As for ESS, I can highly recommend them as a vendor. From purchase, through installation and helping me troubleshoot my install, and follow up support, ESS has been fantastic. You're not likely to find better aftermarket customer support anywhere.

I love my ESS TS, I wouldn't have put anything else on my car.

well thanks for the input ...im bout to start an engine build now on my 328i but im waiting on the block to get back from the machine shop ...but im thinking of there new 3.0 kit as i was saying...im wanting some big numbers have you got any track times yet

[TxZHP04]

No track times for me. If you search around the FI forum here, several member have posted times for various stage kits. Don't recall anything posted specifically for the TS3 yet.

If you have the money go with the ts3 hands down.

I have the ts 3 setup and its it very good quality and seriously fast - the twinscrew allows you to have +500 nm tourque at 2000 rpm - it pulls like a freight train up to 7000 rpm.

ESS are good guys and have excellent customer service.
