View Full Version : bay area AA S/C install????? LexdiamonNYC 07-08-2003, 12:42 AM i'm thinkin about getting the aa supercharger for my 99 M3, but i'm new to the bay and don't really know any places that would do the install.......or should i say, i don't know anyone i'd trust to do it...... ///3oris 07-08-2003, 06:17 AM Try Jon Caldito, he's a BMW Tech and just recently did an install. I don't know if he's in the Bay Area, but you can contact him and see what he can do/how close he is. Good luck, Boris EDIT: His contact information: http://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=261 BMWguy206 07-08-2003, 09:24 AM Unfortunately LexdiamonNYC and I are about 6-7hrs apart. He can come to LA but I would need the car for about 3-4 days for install. LexdiamonNYC 07-08-2003, 09:30 AM thanx Jon, but that's a long drive ........... 3 days???....that seems long for a s/c install.......

I mentioned 3 days becauses thats the best turn around time that I can give you for the DME shipping out of CA to FL and back. Just shipping the DME alone can cost you close to $90.00 total. I also do NOT want to rush with the installation. I can do it in a day or two but I dont want to take the risk of screwing something up and you get stuck in the middle of CA or having more delays. I will email you a quote in case you are curious. PS. I am an ex BMW Tech. TurboM3 07-08-2003, 02:03 PM He did my install and did a wonderful job. Kept me updated and informed through out the whole thing. Thanks Mark TurboM3 07-08-2003, 02:05 PM Someone else in Northern California just got an AA S/C. You should ask him where he is getting his done. - Mark badmonkey 07-08-2003, 02:58 PM You might try www.dynospotracing.com in San Jose, or ping kitwetzler on the forum, he does various installs. MKS 07-09-2003, 12:50 AM Yeah, I just installed my AA S/C and have the bruises, cuts scrapes and dirty fingernails to prove it! It took me three days working about six or seven hours per day to do it. The instructions could have been more user friendly, and it's just tough trying to cram even more stuff under our hoods. Anyway, good luck finding a shop to do it. I just don't trust anyone with my car. >>>Mat badmonkey 07-09-2003, 12:55 AM Oh yeah? Adding a SC in the roomy E36 engine compartment is easy compared to this: BMWguy206 07-09-2003, 12:57 AM Was it really necessary for the engine to be removed or is there another story to it? badmonkey 07-09-2003, 01:01 AM With the scope of work we did, pulling the motor and tranny seemed easier. Those turbos are really stuffed in there! Having done the upgrade now, I think there is a work-around, but since wrenching is only my hobby probably won't be doing another... unless :devillook BMWguy206 07-09-2003, 01:12 AM Just curious but what Stage Spec Clutch kit is bolted on? badmonkey 07-09-2003, 01:17 AM Stage 3 IIRC, the S4 should be upwards of 450wtq. Sorry for the o/t LexdiamonNYC!

Couple of potential places....try Rennwerks in Mountain View..this is where I take my M Coupe....rennwerks.com. Also, I have heard very good things about A&E Performance in Campbell GQ_Style 08-06-2003, 07:15 PM Would you be willing to do it yourself?? |
