Thats better than 35k, but still ridiculous for those kinds of gains. I just can't see who would
pay that kind of money with the competition out there car wise. I bet one could put another engine in an RS4 for that kind of money. Which may be a better idea specially if the Supercharger blows up the engine, you would have to buy an engine twice!

Not a bad price but considering MTM toasted the engine w/in a week
I'm really not sure how long this would last. Granted MTM was probably running a more aggressive tune, but still. That and the fact that I haven't heard of this company before (although it sounds remarkably like Novitec, the Ferrari S/C guys) makes me a little skeptical

Where did you hear they toasted the engine within a week?
When Chris wrote his article about the car, it already had 15,000km on it since the s/c install. The issues came up months later.
