Default PES supercharger - I need to go faster - best price

I saw a guy here in NC with one on a 98 and it gave me lustfull thoughts and desires. How long does it tale to install and any one here done it them selves? Where is the best, lowest $ to get one. Second mortgage on the way. This modification stuff is an illness I think.

You just missed a GB on the S/C from PES.
Yes you can install it yourself, takes about two days working slowly. Never see lower prices than PES GBs except the occasional used system. Few and far between on the resales.

$5k+ is a lot o'money to sink into a mod!
Keep in mind it will be very hard to recover that cost when you go to sell the car. The AVERAGE Audi buyer wouldn't pay more for a supercharged A4. To get your money back out of it you'll have to sel it to someone who would read this web-site

As for me I was thinking of it but... I am going to save that $5k and put it into a '04 or 05' S4 V8 about this time next year.

250bhp is nice but 344bhp is even better!!!

Agreed, unless you have your car paid off and you plan to keep it forever.

Default Agreed. I passed on the B6 S4 for now as my 98.5 30V only has 32K miles - PES all the way

I've already taken the depreciation hit - for me I view it as spending $5K and getting a whole new car. Now that's cheap.
