PES S/C..?

[sonny]

That's a lot of Swiss Francs (£20,969 at today's exchange rate) and more than MTM want isn't it?

The MTM kit is more like £33K

22K from QST

Thats not the entire kit, no exhaust and no clutch/flywheel kit and it's excl. VAT (the Novidem price is incl VAT).

Yes thats right...but would you want the MTM exhaust? any way....the PES one I think would be the safest option even if PES have still not commented on reliability.

As you know I have the S/C from MTM (QST) but still stock exhaust system. I would like to try either Milltek, MTM (or other) with race cats. Any recommendations?

[sonny]

What power are you putting out (with out getting into a 12 page debate lol) I would def go for the Milltek full exhaust system, including downpipes, cats and cat-back. Im running downpipes and cats with OEM exhausts.

520bhp/554Nm

Why milltek over MTM?

[sonny]

That's some 'impressive torque". well personnel preference, I have not dealt with MTM, but I don't like the rear ends did not look OEM, however I only have seen one type.

So few questions.

How long you had it fitted?
Have you encountered any engines problems relating to the SC?
Is the service intervals the same and do you get it serviced at Audi?
Did they fit a bigger catch tank and aditional cooler for the S/C?

There's many more questions as I have looked into this myself, however it is expensive. do you have any pics of your engine?

EDIT, think I have asked you this before, but did you have the valves cleaned? if NOT would you get it done, (im in the CB kills performance boat) surly this should see a small gain in power.

You can have the MTM with oval pipes like OEM (they don't show it on their website).

Fitted in june 2009 ( 20.000 km by now).
No engine problems (only upgraded the software a couple of times, MTM continously update it)
Service interval is the same.
Additional cooler fitted.
No extra tank.
There is also a lot of small adjustments:
-different oilfilter and arrangement
-no oildip/pin anymore (using the hole for returning oil from the SC)
-new airbox lid (same filter and housing)
-new pully arrangement
-different fuel pipes
+++

Did not clean the valves and have no plans.
I have the installation manual on paper. If you are interested it might be possible to scan it and send it to you.
