I would have a V8 RS4 on ITB any day over a supercharger or Turbo, However I wonder how it would run,

Im sure this guy had this engine for sale about a year ago

We should have asked him to stick it on the dyno while its on the bench haha

ITB in an R8 for the win.
Been talked about before. That is to go into his track car (you can see it in the background in the first vid). Lemme think, that engine in a tubeframe chassis that weighs less than a sparrow's fart, with track running gear. Yeah, I think it'll go alrightish.

Ah right... I hadn't even spotted that in the background.

Ha!. Just noticed this.

Tony's a customer of mine, and the engine is going into a track day toy - similar idea to a Caterham 21 or Radical, but as you can see with a proper engine in it!
