Depends on what you want from the kit. This setup is a smoother power/torque delivery then root set up. I thought the centrifugal charger was a good idea beacuse it can also be brought separately if it goes wrong big time.( hope not ) :bowdown: If a roots charger goes wrong it will need a whole new housing. Also not sure if you know but the top housing also holds the charge cooling system. Also from reading up and talking to people the roots system also makes abit more heat.
I made my decision buying this kit amongst other things but because MRC an TTS have worked together on this kit an they are both based here in the uk.( Not sure where your based) i can say though the parts to me are bang on an im happy with the kit so far.

You wot m8?

Centrifugal supercharging any day of the week. They are better at everything except for creating gobs of low end torque. Well that and creating whine. With one of these you keep the character of the engine that builds more power with revs and at reasonable intake temperatures.

Hi,

Unfortunately I can't comment back to back as I haven't experienced a centifugally charged RS4 but they say mid range and on / off power delivery is better with a screw :-)

I might fancy a track day this year keep me posted how you get on...

Cheers
