You don't need that ugly hood they had on the MTM Clubsport. MTM themselves says you can get away with cutting away some of the insulation on the stock hood.

Currentley PES have a Supercharger and another company called VF Engineering for way less than the MTM offering.

Look like S4 to me? Do PES have a kit for the RS4? Do you know the price of the VF kit?

The PES looks interesting, especially for the price, but it's not in production yet, and they don't mention anything about being RS4 specific.

The MTM kit is about 30% hp increase, plus it includes their exhaust system, flywheel and stronger clutch. And they've been road testing their model for a lot longer.

Still doesn't justify the price, I agree, but it gives a little peace of mind.

Ask them about warranty though and they'll run a mile!!! So problem is you pay the big bucks and still in reality have NO peace of mind at all, which just seems a bit rich IMO
Current car..... hmmmmm????

Haha, I guess 'peace of mind' doesn't belong in the same sentence as 'tuning', but then again, neither does 'warranty'.
I don't expect PES to offer a warranty either.

Funny side note though, I had my supplier call MTM and ask them if they've addressed the issue of gunked up valves/inlet tract, and their official response was "We never heard about this. There is also no problem with our supercharger."

The S4 and RS4 have completely different inlet manifolds, so the S4 kits won't fit the RS4 and vice versa.
