what did you think of the m3 with the blower?
insane - hard to explain to be honest, but felt extremely quick. It was apparently running 450 bhp and it just pulled relentlessly - like everything was amplified, noise, power etc. It was the same revvy engine with more pull but didn't feel like the big power turbo cars where you're aware that youre on boost - much more linear with only the whine giving it away. Convinced I will get another and follow through in the future as I can imagine the sense of drama would be amazing in a smaller cabin with the roof down

just to prove i am working on this.....

heres the "cold" start test as i wanted to show the characteristics of the car at idle and very light blips to around 1.5-2k. Sorry for the vibrations the camera is struggling to deal with the sheer volume and the whistling is of course the blower. exhaust setup is V band thin wall SS, large bore pipework all ceramic coated, 2 tiny 100 Cell race Cats, ending with 2 RPI gt race cans with removable bolt in silencers ( in this case not present), this setup is very free flowing, very noisey but dropped 25+kg from the stock setup....

Bare with me, I'm working on this Alot in the background.

I'm trying to show this is every situation... including the ones were an aftermarket setup usual fails, so cold behaviour and off boost driving .... i really want people to see just how well the thing drives slowly as well as the other side we all know about.
