Im on my second weistec stage 3 and couldnt be happier,gintani praised the magnuson kit and said that it runs way cooler/makes more power per psi,he tuned his own c63 on 11 gal e85 the rest 93 (stock fuel system otherwise wouldve run full e)stock headers and exhaust and made a peak off 673whp at 7psi,it doesnt hit as hard as the whipple on the lower rpm but it seems more efficient,im getting fuel system done on my weistec kit done by gintani next month and will be running full e85 shooting for 750whp on the 60mm pulley.

wesitec doesnt make superchrgers lmao,they make a kit to fit a m156,the supercharger unit is made by whipple fyi

Are you going to inform me that Magnuson rotor units are made by Eaton too?

Until i see a magnuson kit go 140mph on m156 ill be sticking with my whipple/Weistec

Ill be doing back to back testing with the gen3 whipple when it arrives

Not yet, but since ESS is supplying the kit with the Gen3 Whipple now, that would be the kit for me.

Can't wait to see this! The beast just got even stronger!!
Ok. I have one on mine. Don't have any performance numbers yet but I'm hoping for good ones lol. If you decide to purchase let me know, I can get you a good deal

Sadly, this is true. Weistec CARB EO: https://arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/devices/eo/D-691.pdf

I'm looking for CARB legal options for FL cars as well.

Magnuson site still says "CARB pending", but it's a shame if they said it won't happen at all.

ESS doesn't mention CARB at all.

Mine is ****ing awesome. I can't comment on others though. Drives way better, more power, smoother delivery if you want, nice kit

ugh! Magnuson discontinued their supercharger kit for the M156. I'm totally sad!! I spoke with a shop in CA and they said that the Magnuson unit was top notch! Why would they stop production?

Not enough sales

Well they really needed to get it CARB approved. I can only imagine the bureaucracy involved, but they had CARB approvals on their other chargers and CA would have been a large market I'm sure....

probably because they didn't sell many...supposedly they were prototyping a flipped blower to avoid needing additional purchase of the hammer upgrade kit or something along those lines.

maybe its discontinued because a newer version is to be released. i know a few guys on here work closely with Magnuson out in Australia. John was it? I think he'll be our best contact for information.

Supply and demand. ESS stomped out Magnuson.

And the Gen 3 Whipple is really tough to beat.

Pros and cons of ESS vs Weistec?

mr747

To late to the game i think

Weistec had and has this platform covered and has for many years

The Magnuson Hammer kits are still in stock at VCM Performance in Australia. Most of the Hammer components were manufactured in Australia, then sent to California for assembly & testing.
VCM were integrally involved in the development & manufacture of the kit, including supplying Magnuson all of the components within the "Chassis Kit".

(The decision to discontinue the Hammer kit has not been correctly identified in any of the speculative posts above).
