Have a look here,

http://www.vems.hu/files/genboardv3/assembly/vems_v3_documentation.pdf

Buy some of these
https://shop.vems.hu/catalog/ignition-driver-p-49.html?osCsid=1cc81f1dd2f4d5edd5396b485c20e3cf

And fit them where ever  you have the 4 logic shorts, just copy the other IGBT's you have installed. It´s quite easy really to do.

Thanks Gunni for the info, looks very encouraging.

Pic on the left is my board and right is what I found as reference from wiki.

Knock circuit installation steps:
I got these instructions from this page: http://www.vems.hu/wiki/index.php?page=GenBoard%2FManual%2FKnockSensor
   1) Install knock chip (TPIC8101DW) in my board
   2) Install 4MHz XTAL crystal (not sure up or down of the board, up being the chip side) in my board
   GenBoard compare: http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah154/Victor_Maisnam/v33_vems_knock_components_zps86c65bb6.jpg


More ignitions installation steps:
Based on wiki info all I need to do is install:
   1) Add 4 IGBTs (HGTP14N40F3VL or IRGB14L40C) in number 2, 3 5 and 6 in my board
   GenBoard compare: http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah154/Victor_Maisnam/photo_zpsd33235ab.jpg

VR to HALL conversion steps:
Instruction from wiki says:
    1) Remove solderblob from number 1 in my board
   2) Solderblob in number 2 in my board
   GenBoard compare: http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah154/Victor_Maisnam/Untitled_zpse298fdc3.png
   
My GenBoard:

VEMS for supercharged BMW E36 M52
« Reply #17 on: December 22, 2014, 02:36:38 pm »
Unfortunately I had to drop the turbo project and went to supercharged my M52 with ARP2000, 0.14" HG, M50 intake and S52 cams at the moment.
It was a big decision to drop the turbo project as I couldn't find any decent RHD turbo manifold and yes I wanted the air con in the car since it is going to be a daily drive vehicle and it's hot in summer in Australia, blah blah..
So got a RMS supercharger kit couple weeks ago and in process of installation, so far no dramas.

Has anyone in here supercharged and VEMS for the tune? Would like to know pro and cons using VEMS in supercharger setup.

Sorry to hack this thread, couldn't find the right place to post.

No different then tuning a turbo setup, only no need for boost control.

I have a VEMS + supercharged setup. I've had a few problems but they were my bad, not the VEMS. You can learn from my mistakes.
I'm in Australia too. PM me if you like.
