What have they done to allow for additional cooling for the s/c?

VF Engineering have been asked several technical questions on Audizine about this fitment on the RS4 (and the R8) but they somehow never answer any of the questions...

Given the supposed unreliability of the MTM SC, how can we be sure that this will not turn the engine into a loose collection of nuts and bolts? - especially as VF are not forthcoming with any answers?

I would LOVE a SC RS4, but I need a reputable firm to show solid data first...

Wouldn't touch the f**ker with a bargepole.

The product looks like its only just been released onto the market.

IIRC, the MTM product was released onto the market, pulled, then re-released. The cost means the R&D must have been huge even if the MTM mark-up is also huge.

Unfortunately, IMHO, this 4.2 just isn't made for forced induction unless you want to triple its cost.

Of course, someone will probably point me in the direction of Novitec and what it does to Ferrari's but...

By all accounts it looks like the next RS4 will be a twin charged 3.0 V6.

What a shame.

Anyone any idea of the prices yet?

PD Sumed it up well; a SC would be great, as long as relability can be proved over a sustained period.

However it would appear like many other tuning modififcations those who develop it are somewhat shy or actually providing concrete evidence about what the gains are and what the price is both in monetary and additional wear rate to your OEM car.

You sure these lot are not a subsidiary of Carbonio? :wink:
