MTM Supercharger for 4.2

[asix_er]

I found this on ebay, I checked out MTM's site and it doesn't a single thing about this...is this for real????

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Audi-...spagenameZWDVW

I wouldn't pay that much for it, but I wanted to know if such a goodie does exist...

[Digga]

I have seen a sick video on you tube of an RS4 with a custom MTM charger.... it sounds amazing

and here ya go enjoy

I know about that supercharger for the RS4, I've seen the video way too many times!

But what I really wanted to know is whether the supercharger in the ebay link does exist for c5's and is really compatible

[kingofnyc]

I saw it too but looks weird to me. i did some searches and never heard of it. i would stay away. another motodyne. lol.

[oc-drop]

iirc their supercharged S4 LOST power from stock.

BZZZZZZZZZZZTT, WRONG!

It most certainly is their older kit they developed for the S8.

I stand corrected

[Kievskiy]

7Gs is too much for such an upgrade imo....

[FrankA6]

Yeah, they wont ever sell that with that kind of writeup, looks to be shit anyways :(

Indeed it does look like shit...too bad a bonfide genuine supercharger doesn't exist for my 6...

The new (Q7 & RS4) MTM superchargers are $35-39k, which makes this seem pretty cheap... ;)

[Kievskiy]

MTM is too cocky about their prices....waste of money imo....^^^thats a 911 turbo right there or something very fast or luxury!!!

What the fuck makes a single engine component worth that kind of money?

[katcoota]

What the fuck makes a single engine component worth that kind of money?

Good question. But an even better question would probably be, who on earth would buy it?

You can pick up a used RS6 2003, and chip it for about that price currently.

[katcoota]

PES who have been saying they will have a supercharger for the last 3-4 years are aiming at a price of 5-7k USD from what I can gather for a G4 setup.

Then again, they haven't made it yet.

[Machupo]

I really don't understand why superchargers for Audis cost so much... if you go with a non-roots type you can probably pick up the turbine for $1500 and then custom fab some piping for about $800. Toss on a piggyback and tune on the dyno for about another $1k...

In fact... if I weren't in the doghouse for mods already, i'd be calling Vortech right now! Supercharged S6 avant would be niiiiiiice.

Because it's not just a supercharger.It's exhaust manifolds,injection system,computer management plus dollar euro exchange rate

Heh sorry bro, you haven't sold me.

[MYDWAGON]

Heh sorry bro, you haven't sold me.

Wasn't trying to.I think it should be a third the price max if that.

[Kievskiy]

2.7t Ftmfw :)

[RomanA6]

I don't see how $7k is too much for a supercharger kit

I mean, for 2.7T:
K04's with install kit = $2500
fueling for Stage 3 = $2500
then add in full exhaust, or atleast piggies; new clutch w/LWFW; add in IC's or a FMIC, then add in a set of exhaust manifolds

now tell me which is cheaper? plus you get to have a supercharged 4.2

now whether it's actually MTM or not is a good question, I'm sure they wouldn't want someone ripping off on their name, so has anyone e-mailed them about this yet?

[Kievskiy]

...and open your valet wide for gas....

[cerfus]

I saw this awhile back, but to me MTM seems to make ugly ass stuff, like there hoods for the RS6? are they serious..they seem to flow for function rather than looks, although its not that hard to make it look good i.e. paint, better designers?

and having one of seven or what ever this is sounds like a bad idea, need a part yeah that'll be here in 2-3 weeks..maybe..if we can find it..just go with a PES, although I dont know if they make one for the 4.2.

[RomanA6]

...and open your valet wide for gas....

well no one is runing one so you really can't say that; I can say the same thing about people who have heavy foot stage 3 2.7T's

[Kievskiy]

yeah, i was coming from the experience from my stg2+ 2.7t and my friends s4 4.2, so far v8 is slower and eat much more gas, lol, heavy foot is bad in any case

The MTM supercharger is about 20k. PES don't have a supercharger for the 4.2 yet. They probably never will make one at the rate they are going at.

So realistically, a Stage 3 2.7 is a cheaper option

reading comprehension, we are talking about this particular one on ebay right now

thanks though

can't tell for sure, because there aren't any runing around, but there are a few reasons to go the supercharger route:
1) there are no turbo kits for the V8's, actually, there aren't really any mods for t he V8's!
2) supercharger is on the top, easier to work on, then 2 turbo's hidden way below and behind engine department - for which you have to take transmission off to get to them
3) a properly built Stage 3, with RETAIL prices, will run you just as much as a supercharger for the 4.2
4) if you run Stage 3, you most likely will ALWAYS have to run 93, and they really shine on Race Gas, any idea how much gallon of Race Gas costs? thanks!

Andrey, as far as I remember, the difference between 2.7T and a 4.2 A6's was only about 2-3mpg in regular moderate driving; on my 2.7 the mpg according to the computer never went over 22mpg with me shifting 2000-2500rpm

not starting anything, just don't like some of a little ignorant responses
