    Supercharger kit

    Hey everyone I have a 1992 BMW 325i e36. It's the m50 engine. I'm buying a VF engineering supercharger for the car but the issue I'm going to run into is that VF engineering doesn't provide tuning for Obd1. What are my best options for tuning at this point? It was hard enough to convince the wife on the supercharger kit so I'm looking for less expensive solutions lol.

    As a BFC member for many years and and one who finally appreciates the members and venders here, believe me when I say vollosso is "DA MAN". As an engineer, he knows mechanics, and as a person, he is one hell of a stand up guy.

    They had OBD I tunes. Why would they stop burning chips ?

    I didn’t think it was true either. For not including a tune you’d think it would be a bit less then the price on there site.

    One can purchase a new Rms stage 2 without a tune for 5,200 or so on eBay new. At least that offers an aftercooler setup.

    Why support a company that won't even provide a full kit and only value their software at $200 ?

    I’m not sure if your still looking for a tune, but I have a obd1 vf tune with injectors if you still need one.

    RMS has great hardware, but at least in the old days when I was supercharged, you did not buy a tune from them.
