c63 coupe p31weistec stg3 SOLD,2013 C63 BLACK SERIES.
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.

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

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.

That would be lame if they aren’t getting approval. They are also a CA company and got approvals with TRD when they were making all the chargers for Toyota.

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?

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.

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".

+61 3 9763-7599

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