My impressions of the car, thus far
I've had the car for almost a month now and have had the opporutnity to drive the car nearly 2k miles...and guess what, I love this car!
While I've yet to get the car on a dyno, I can tell you that it's substantially more powerful than in stock state (one would hope, right?). There's been lots of speculation regarding the actual gains that a supercharger provides versus a car with bolt ons, while I can't speak towards gains from a supercharger only install I do believe that before anybody should even consider a supercharger, they should have the supporting mods.
Anyhow, I digress.
JHM's lightweight flywheel and crank pulley allow the car to rev freely, this is ...
VF supercharger installation
The past few weeks have been rather interesting. Installation on the VF supercharger has wrapped up, below I'll detail the install procedure. All work was completed at achtuning in Redmond, WA. If you were considering ordering a supercharger, give them a call: 425.895.0000; if you're out of state...even better! No tax!
Our first step was to remove the OEM intake manifold, this is a good time to do your valve cover gaskets if yours are leaking. This process is straight forward. If there's enough room under the hood when everything is said and done, I am still very interested in adding JHM intake spacers (which were removed for the blower installation).
VF Engineering supercharger
After almost a year of testing, VF's production forced induction system for the B6/B7 S4 is in my hands. What a work of art!
VF has reported 496 HP and /434 ft/lbs.
