That will obviously help, I've never driven an rs5 so can't comment on the best launch rpm etc. I'd guess around 3.5k with that blower and you would avoid bog. As I said the hardware in that kit makes for some serious potential Tonys mapping has been previously questioned. I did hear rumours he's upped his game though. I'm watching this with serious interest. You may be correct about being quicker with no launch, that blower should be instant power so should work in your favour
at 4000RPM I got a little spin at the moment, thought to map it to 3000RPM when blown, Tony is coming down to AU so we can tune it on dyno as well and pick the best RPM for launching for my setup, we are looking into TCU as well at the moment ...

not sure about the power figures as yet, PES is promising 500+ hp at the wheels, so that is plenty to start with, not sure how big would be the issue with conversion from single to twin throttle body, you may get an advantage if you tune it properly and manage to fit it.
if you think about it every high powered mid/rear mounted engine car has thin intake so there are advantages.

Are you having to up grade your clutch at all to handle this much expected power?

I am loving this project i must say

cheers, there is no clutch upgrade available at the moment (would upgrade thought), accordingly to Audi it should hold up 600Nm input torque at no worries, so 700 won't kill it ...
