VF are refusing to give any information on the RS4/R8 supercharger:

At the moment, we are not going to put out any more teaser info than we have! Unfortunately we cannot really answer any qs or speculate on the S5, RS4 & R8 superchargers as it is too early in the development phase. But as we make progress we will post it for sure !

VF's pictures show clearly that it's only a mock-up, as the manifold has holes for injectors for a non direct-injected engine (S4) which haven't even been plugged. Either a teaser or just plain BS.... And then, if MTM struggled for months to get the ECUs mapped for their supercharger, I can't see GIAC (VF's tuning partner) getting a proper map done for the SC kit before at least 3 years.

Just my 0.02.

t_urbo told me that when he was over at JD Engineering in Holland, Jeroen was working on a MTM'ed Spyker with their SC'er in it...

He could obviously comment on the application...

Which doesn't have a great reputation for engine reliability...

380-390bhp for 100,000 miles or 500+bhp for 100 miles?

Me and pippyrips were told by QST @ the Audi day @ Castle Coombe in October, that there is only 1 MTM'ed RS4 in the UK.

I can't remember the plate...

Rob - Didn't they say it belonged to a relation of Al Fayed or something?

Yep, his son......

Regarding the car in the picture it does look like the very same car/ & stand - do we know if the pic was taken at Audi International?

If it is the same car next time someone passes Harrods pop in and ask for a spin.
