Is it even fair to compare? What would you recommend and why?

I doubt the B6 will be as easy as "chip and go" like the B5 cars. They arent turbo!

I think they're apples and oranges.

Aluminum block N/A V8 vs a twin turbo iron block V6. What do you think?

And when it comes down to making "expensive" mods to net big big horsepower, the cost of putting K04s or other big turbos on a 2.7T will be similar (or more expensive, due to the labor involved) than slapping the inevitable supercharger kit onto a 4.2.

I mean the next step - Will there be a blower available for it or is there room?

Scot J

Any numbers on the supercharger yet? And is/will there be one available?

I'm not much of an expert, but it's not like you can bore and stroke an audi V8...it's not an LS1. From pics of the things though, doesn't even look like there's room for a supercharger. I think the only real thing you could do would be hook up a NOS system if you're into that sorta thing. Anybody know more about V8 tuning that they could suggest a tuning path for these things?

Of course, no HP claims yet, but I wouldn't think 420-450hp (or possibly more) would be unreasonable.

how can the make it fit? the engine covers barely fit
