unfortunately i dont think so. I'm sure these kits are going to start popping up, but since its an FSI motor it may take some time because of design problems. It took the companies 4+ years of the V8 S4 existing before coming out with a SC kit that is promising/afordable, and these kits wont be available for several months.

There have been 2 kits that i have known of for the V8, but one was an over priced/under powered blower system by MTM, and the other system was a $40,000 kit that rebuilt the whole motor and got you up to 600 hp... (can't find that link anymore).

Im sure once AWE and ASP get their kits out there and other companies see that it can be done without running into OEM product failure, then more companies are going to jump on the band wagon. With gas prices at $4+ a gallon, our V8 Audis aren't in much demand anymore and have very low resale values. The purchase of a V8 Audi and then supercharging it is within more people's budget now.
