VF Engineering/AWE Supercharger for the B6/B7 platform on its way...
spoke with Jeff Moss of torque facory and got some news regarding a SC project he has been working on with VF engineering. They are getting close to the final phase which is the tunning phase. He did not promise any dates but hopes that it should be available within three months. Don't know how much its going to cost for a kit, but apparently thus far 140k has been invested in this project! So what does all of this have to do with the Rs4? Jeff tells me that all the parts should bolt up the the Rs4 as well, it would take someone willing to give up their RS4 for a 6 weeks or so before they can come up with proper fitment and tuning to get it to work on an RS4. He does not think they can do anything crazy like 200hp for the Rs4, but should be able to do something like 100hp. Sounds like some light at the end of the tunnel for you B7 Rs4 guys, hopefully it won't be something ridicoulously priced. I know that most people have said that if its over 10k they would not be interested, and I would not blame them.

yeah "2 weeks" for sure ;).....
I enjoy all this talk about going FI on the v8 s4 and rs4. To think that a supercharger would be available for a car before any worth-while software flash(meaning the Rs4), is hard to believe.
In my opinion, if MTM with all their engineering capabilities etc. are still working on a perfected kit(regardless of the price)what are the chances the "other" kits if released before the MTM are going to be of decent quality etc?.
I'm not bashing the other guys and for the record I hope they can provide all of you with a well-worth FI kit for a good price... it's just that we've been hearing the:
"2weeks", "2months","by the summer" etc. answers for quite some time now.... there must be a reason why nothing is yet available.

I am not sure how long this has been going on, but as far as I know VF engineering has not been
working at it that long. They have had a B7 S4 dedicated for fitting products to for almost a year, and I don't believe that they have been working on a that whole time.

Don't shoot the messenger folks... I am just reporting what I heard and what I thought would be good
news for you all. I understand a lot of people are frustrated but come on!
