Default On the MTM website, there are now two performance "picks" in the RS4 menu

Both are populated with the stock HP, but for most vehicles these are populated with the different modification option HP levels. This was not there the last time I looked on the website a week ago. Just as it is not there with the B7/S4 selections.

Hmmm ... I wonder what it means, given that the mtm site is now referencing that article on the supercharger?

Default I'm sure they reference all positive press on their site...

but that doesn't mean that the kit is ready to be sold just yet. Changes still need to be made to allow the supercharger to fit under the stock hood, among other things I'm sure.

If you look at the mix of photos on page 49 you'll notice that the photo of the supercharger is not from the car the article is about (ditto for the Recaro seats and the CF hood photos on that page). The car with the supercharger is the Avus Silver RS4 that MTM brought to the Tuner GP back in October. I suspect this was the car the writer drove, but MTM probably wanted the photos in the article to be of their non-supercharged RS4 because it's more of a finished product on the outside.

Default Hate to burst your buble but the kit is not released yet and may never be released...

We asked MTM about it yesterday and for now they are not ready to release it.

Also it's nice to see that MTM like STaSIS modified the suspension with KWs with external reservoirs and that got the "handling issue" under control.

Personally if I were rich enough to afford such a car the first thing to be removed from the car would be the DRC.

I'm amazed that they can push 6lbs of boost through that motor given its compression ratio.

Default If you read the "European Car" article closely they only talk about .....

performance and what it could do in the "second person". I suspect this is a journalistic way of talking up a car you not only have not seen but have also never driven. Just my guess because the car you show was first used to show off the hood, wheels and exhaust on the MTM website. No mention of any forced induction when the photos were first posted.

That's not it. The RS4 requires a substantially different kit.
