Default Got a customer interested in supercharging his R8...
Anyone know of anyone other than MTM with a supercharger kit? It looks like Hoppen Motorsports is the only company on the East coast that does that. I've also seen a kit from ABT but I don't know of any US distributors and installers. Any help would be appreciated.

The ABT kit is more or less the same as MTM.

Default There are at least two being developed in the US as we speak
VF Engineering in LA is testing one right now, and PES in Pennsylvania is installing one right now! Both will be considerably less expensive than the MTM.

Default and I suspect they will be cleaner installs than MTM.
I've not seen MTM installs that don't look bolt on and not OEM quality.

He isn't saying that he hasn't not seen a supercharger install that wasn't cleaner than non-OEM.
