Not sure if the link will work!?
Shame we dont have room for these.

There's always a way but the cost would prob out weigh the car.

With the size & position of the turbos and the size of the intercooler it probably wouldn't fit in the engine bay of a B7 either.

There's no way it would fit in the engine bay in that configuration. I'm guessing this was done as an experiment to see how much power you could get from these engines had there been more room. I'm suprised someone hasn't fitted one of these and turbo'd it in a bigger engine bay before. I know MRC turbo'd their R8 V8 but it'd be an interesting choice for a hot rod / kit car type vehicle or even a modded S8 maybe.

There's a dude on audizine that's twin turbo'd his B7. Got a lot of abuse in the process too, being Audizine. I think he made an appearance on here at some point too.

Yes he had a build thread here too, but got fed up of the abuse here too and stopped updating it. Think his username was chargedrs4.

There are some vids on utube aswell...

Au contraire. Shows it mocked-up on each side early in the thread, then shows the engine built-out from the front. http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthrea ... rid=356571

Very impressive, but he has no secondary firewall or headlights. So I stand by my comment and maybe add the words "There's no way it would fit in the engine bay of a road car in that configuration". Shows what a great engine it is though and the potential if only there was more room.

The abuse wasn't just because it was on audizine - it is said that he has a history on audizine of claiming results (such as 1/4 mile times, bhp figures, etc.) but always refuses to provide any evidence), and when I was reading the thread it was proven that he claimed the 1/4 mile times from another car.

Add to that his history of having multiple handles, all of which had the same misleading posts, and I think the abuse he got was almost certainly deserved.

+1

There's also another thread of a TT engine on audizine, but that makes no claims about it being suitable for a road car - they've had to remove the secondary firewall to make it fit http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthrea ... ort-rs4-tt

Ah, I hadn't read all the posts, sounds fair enough then if he's been making <beep> up!

He half came good at the end though, but was all very weird throughout! He denied he was the others, got given the benefit of the doubt but really nobody fully believed him

He's started a Phase 2 upgrade for more power which he says includes some internal changes to the engine but still hasn't shown verified results for Phase 1 (no verified time slips for 1/4 mile, no timed runs against other audizine members, etc.) .

The lack of openness is his problem, he may well be doing great work but with only his unverified claims (and his poor history) it's hard for others to totally believe the power and 1/4 mile times he claims. Even the 1/4 mile times he claims don't fit with his claimed 600 wheel bhp as supercharged RS4s with maybe 200 wheel bhp less can almost match his claimed times, and other cars such as a Supra with known 600 wheel bhp run much faster times.

He is his own worst enemy - posting verified evidence would silence the critics.

That sums it up perfectly actually, I remember the times he claimed not being that impressive.

A bit like the super light v8 r8. Another strange work of art...
