SOLD

This kit was originally designed and installed by ERT, on a customer's '00 Z3 2.8 (M52TU). Car never ran right due to ERT's poor design and almost non-existent software so after 5k mi ESS was called in and provided different injectors, DME reflash and oil catch can setup that would prevent supercharger sucking in oily crankcase vapors. At the same time supercharger was sent to Vortech for a rebuilt. You can call Vortech and give them serial number of the unit to see how much warranty is left, since I don't remember exactly from the top of my head.
Less then 4k mi thereafter, customer decides to trade his car in for a Z4 Roadster, only to find out that dealership will give him close to nothing for a car that's been modified. He asked as to remove the entire supercharger setup and return his car to stock, so he could trade it in. He was not interested in selling it privately. At that time, car had 26k mi on the clock, about 9k mi on supercharger system as a whole and less then 4k mi on the blower after rebuilt.
I am selling complete kit, minus the DME obviously, exactly the way it was installed on the car. Every single component that was part of the kit is included, again, minus a DME and 600mOhm resistor that was spliced into a AMM meter harness.
Being from ERT, it's not a pretty setup, far from it to be honest, but it did work and produced good power while on the car. It's a good project kit to make something better out of it, but can be used as it, if you're not picky.
I am selling it as-is, absolutely no warranty or support expressed or implied. If you're new to forced induction, this kit is NOT for you. If you know what you're doing, you can get this very inexpensively and customize it for your own project.
Asking $850 plus S/H if any. Local pickup in MA is preferred as it is somewhat heavy/expensive to ship. Pardon poor picture quality, it was done this morning via my Treo, shop camera is DOA. If you need any particular picture/angle, please let me know and I'll send it to you.

More PMs are answered. Here're some pictures of what it looked like on the car. I have full-resolution versions in case anyone needs them.

P.S. Power steering reservoir relocation was mandated by installation of S50 oil filter housing and cooler, not by supercharger not clearing it. Reservoir in its original location was not a problem for a supercharger.

850 for everything, that is a good price. What size injectors are those?

I'm not sure what size injectors these are but from talking to ESS previously, I was told that these are BMW application parts. Unfortunately, there're no BMW or any other numbers on them, but I'm sure quick call to ESS would clear this up.
I would prefer to sell everything as a kit at this point.

Is this everything I would need to bolt it up to a 99 m3 minus the software?

Gentlemen, as much as I'd prefer to deal locally, I already promised the kit to VRDevelopment, as he was the first to respond with money in hand. If it falls through, next in line gets his chance.

Assuming those are the Bosch/Ford Motorsport "Blue Top" injectors that several E36 guys use (including myself), those are 24# injectors. Which seems a bit small even for a modest S/C setup.
