How easy or difficult is it to upgrade for 540 customers? And what's involved?

Careful planning was taken in the R&D phase. The VF manifolds have a cassette-style provision in the rear for 1 of 2 heat exchangers used within the system:



In the VF540 kits, these are simply closed off with a block-off plate. When upgrading to the VF620 (intercooled) systems, the heat exchangers (Manifold and bumper mounted) are provided along with accompanying hardware.

Best part is - all hardware is retained and nothing is replaced, other than the pulley/belts, and software.

Wow that's impressive!! Great engineering.

I remember it was a pita trying to upgrade from my stage 1 ESS to anything higher.

Exactly what this kit is intended to prevent, there's no buyer's remorse. The VF540 a great entry level F/I kit that can easily be upgraded when the time comes.
