you mean "VAV Controller?" (Variable Airflow Volume Controller)? what's involved with this? I already have headers in mind so that i wouldn't want from a stage 3...

You don't have to have the experience... i'd likely get MMW to do that work for me anyway. With that many gears (7) i could probably go with a 3.23 gear ratio in the rear for more power and torque to the wheels (given that they make a LSRD with that low ratio...

MMW is designing custom headers in the process now anyway that i'll likely be involved in the group buy

The S/C kit would go on my N52B30 (325i)...

The n52b30 is a 2.5l which is only used in europe or canada. All us spec na models use a 3.0 tuned for various horsepower. Hence all the 3 stage manifold conversions on here

I meant n52b25^

i thought that's what the N52B25 meant is 2.5L... like N52B30 is 3.0L... where do you see these numbers on your car?

7e90dan · 09-25-2011, 09:12 PM

Google it. You have 3.0 engine

bro lightning, could you post some updates on your Arma SC on your E89? I am keen to run this setup. Problems encountered so far? Thanks

Hi bro.. i don't really recommend this kit anymore because the kit is manufactured quite poorly. after 2 months of installing, there was clear signs of metal fatigue and it broke apart while i was on the move. Thank God i wasn't hurt.

I tried to revert back to the Arma team but all they did was finger pointing and they were quite keen to wash their hands off the matter when i confronted them about this. They "sent" me a "engineeer" to diagnose the problem of the charger and to help me solve the problem but all the "engineer" did was to find an excuse to push away their responsibility.

I will be posting up photos very soon.

And here I was about to applaud Arma for being pioneers. Thanks for taking the bullet on this one lightning.

mapleridge · 12-27-2011, 02:44 PM

So. Quality/ r&d isn't right on this kit. Bolt ons and a good tune is really only the safest move for this engine.

Give the f*** up on this damn supercharger already!
