How did the 330 computer work for the 530 ? or what do you do for tuning?

ive had an ESS TS2 kit on my 530i for 2 years and around 50k miles. it has been trouble free and amazing

I had been hoping that ESS would offer their TS1 for the early 528i years (97 and 98). It used to say coming soon on their web site for the longest time.

I got an email stating what I didn't want to hear the other day - no TS1 for the M52B28 engine.

I wonder if I could get a local performance shop to design something similar...? A twin screw design is more appealing to me then the VF design.

All still running strong with their VF SC'd setups? I'm still dreaming

Oh, I had 137K when I the SC was installed.

I have to admit...thats impressive. I am sorry but what have you dino'd at?

I'm a little late on the topic, ha but can you PM me the same info^^^ looking into swapping a new motor into my 528.....Might as well do the whole thing while it's open. Thanks!

Still running well with the VF kit

Im considering buying the active autowerke supercharger for my 530i but then again i think you can only get about 330 or 350hp and im looking for a little bit more . I was reading and im starting to consider droping that option and get me an M5 and just go from there.. I don't really like how the DSC works i want an LSD and the M5 comes with it and 400hp to play with and then i can do extra mods to try to get a little extra juice out of it ... So i was trying to find for info about the supercharger and also feedback about it ..
