R8 V8 that we have for development:

Looks great in Silver Doug, and you are getting great figures already

all good - hopefully being the same as the rs4 b7 unit with more space above the engine it should be relatively straightforward to supercharge (in principle!)
The extra room could allow some additional options for chargecooling or a larger more efficient supercharger unit.

The R8 engine is better than a rs4. The inlet manifold design and throttle bodies flow more than stock rs4. The carbon build up is a layer - not caked up.

There is plenty of room for 2 chargers and to make it super efficeint with lots of cooling.

Two?!?! Cheeky

Iv been keeping an eye on this on your Fb feed, the IM looks immense when its off the engine.

Decided to something a bit different to test us on what we can do on the R8 V8:

What's the numbers so far Doug? Couldn't read the graph in the video.

we are still developing it so not really saying final numbers

That sounds like an angle grinder being fed into a jet engine!!!

Fair enough. Looking forward to the end result though. Sounds awesome by the way!
