The car is not really faster. I mean, under 6000 rpm it's even worst than before. After 6000 rpm I can feel a medium kick but not wheelspin, even on wet surface on first gear.... My only hope to fix this lack of performance is to install my Electronic Signal Modifier. Do you guys think that's gonna make a huge difference on my problem of lack of performance? I have everything else installed ( FPR, the compressor, the aftercooler... The fuel pump.) Someone can tell me if it's only as weak until I install my ESM? The fuel pump is a Walbro 255Liter per hour. The installation have been done by a mechanic.

Okay that make sense... because I can really feel a lack of power under 6000 rpm and the lil kick above 6000 rpm is not as nice as I would expect from a supercharged engine. I hope that the installation of the ESM will fix this problem and give me the kick that I am looking for. Don't worry guy I'll not rev it above 5000 rpm until I install my ESM.

OMG!..... Dude..... get your kit installed properly before going WOT. If you need help with the ESM install I have pictues of that too.
I don't understand why you would think the kit would run properly without the ESM?
Without the ESM the ECU will retard timing.. With the ESM your ECU will not see boost and will fire properly thus giving you more power with the boost. The ESM is what hides the boost from the ECU by essentially putting a voltage "clamp" on the signal.
This is the same reason that if you do not properly install the ESM or if the wiring comes loose you will immediately loose power if not throw a CEL...
