Our techs here at VF have been busy installing Stage 1 E46 M3 supercharger systems. Here are some pics from one of the most recent installs---Welcome to the VF family!:wave:

Before the installation, we like to do a few dyno pulls to see what we're working with- in this case, it is a healthy, bone stock 2002 SMG.
