PES (QST) SuperCharger - too much of a risk on B8??

Post by max_b » Thu Sep 08, 2016 10:31 pm

With the gearbox issues B8 owners are having and the 'unknown' reliability of the PES charger is this combination too much of a 'risk'?
I appreciate both the engine and drivetrain/gearbox will loose any warranty with Audi, so am I asking for trouble as I don't have bottomless pockets?

The car in question is the Red SC B8 on eBay at the moment. I've had a conversation with the owner who has been open enough to say he has already got through 1 flywheel at his own cost and QST who say they are no longer doing new SC work.

From what i can work out the charger on the RS5/B8 RS4 is based on the PES item, who as I understand are no longer around. Kim says he had the same system on his RS5 without any issues. The SC for the B7 had a different set up.

Any of you chaps any thoughts?
