Don't know of a turbo version though have heard figures of 15/20k for the mtm kit.

Why would you need extra power like that, we can't use what the car has now without looking over our shoulders.

Hi. I know i own a B5 S4 but i thought i would let you know that a friend of mine who owns a RS4 B7 enquired after a turbo conversion for his. He was told that there was no room to stick the turbos anywhere as the engine bay was too small hence the reason why they came up with the supercharger kit. Hope this helps??!!

Who says the turbos have to be in the engine bay?

The last I heard regarding the MTM supercharger kit was that there were reliability problems with the standard RS4 engine internals.

Close, its an M5. Think it gets up to 815bhp with those two things added

ChrisRS4.... Fair comment. Lovely idea sticking it underneath the car, lots of pro's and conns with that set-up though. Jezzer..... Its never fast enough!! (Or is it)

Best of luck to whoever owns that M5. I found the stock 507 enough & then with the re-map to 540ish it was more than enough. The car is hard enough to keep on the black stuff with stock power, 815BHP must just be utter insanity.

Thinking a few big puddles wouldn't agree with the turbo casing either as they get hotter than a mofo. Kinda cool though, F1 power in a saloon car!!
