mtm supercharger...

Looks good mate, however is very expensive IMO, however i do know that there is a lot of work that goes into this, so where are you located?

[larshs]

Thanks, it's a lot of money but it will extend my ownership of the car a couple of years I'm sure. I'm living in Norway

[sonny]

OK fair one, I bet it sounds amazing, what else did they uprate in the car?

[larshs]

Sounds great yes, an extra whine when reving, but not too much. It's a family car an I would like to keep it that way. I did not do the exhaust and clutch upgrade, but of course there were a lot of original parts replaced by MTM parts. As you probably can see on the pictures the airbox lid is not original, the fuel pipes just behind the charger have been changed. There is a additional water cooler in front and new circulation system for the intercooler. Most of the original pulleys are gone and an MTM arrangement installed.

It might be difficult to sell in the future mate.... You won't make the money back you spent on it (IMO). But it will be an awesome car to keep in your garage as a toy for the weekend

[larshs]

I know booski, as said not a financial investment , but one should have some fun in life. And keep in mind that the price of a new RS4 in Norway is more than £160.000

[booski]

Sorry if I came across negatively.... I agree it's a fantastic piece of kit and I'm 100% certain you'll have loads of fun in your very rare super-super saloon

[larshs]

no offence, it was not an easy descision - took me a year of thinking before I did it

[booski]

Please Post sound/ motion clips over the next few weeks if you get chance.... There will be alot of drooling and jealousy ( me being one of them ). LOL

[sar]

looks real nice,it must be mental im not jealous at all!!!!

Larshs,

do you know who actually installed in it? Was this a MTM employee or other ?

Thanks

[larshs]

Away on vacation for a couple of weeks, have patience with the motion and sound clips .

Andyuk911:
No one from MTM, I think Kim at QST did it himself.

No worrys take your time... Enjoy your time off

Thanks,yes it was dyno'ed before and after. Did not change the exhaust at this time so it's a little down compared to the claimed figures.

Before: 380hp/385NM - not impressed by that
After: 511hp/554NM

No need to modify the hood other than cutting out a little piece at the inside close to the lock.

amazing...

guess dyno accuracy is moot when you get a 35% power boost!

do you have the peak torque number?
edit; oops, I see it...44% increase...almost 410 lb ft! wow

I'm guessing 4 to 5 psi of boost?

enjoy, be safe

I want one, looks awesome, especially as you don't have to have that sill carbon bonnet bulge.

en joy
