There is a thread asking about front bumper cover removal. Someone dropped a YouTube video about installing a larger supercharger pulley. It showed how to remove the cover.
Near the end of the video, the tech said some numbers about stock, phase one, and phase two blower pressures.
They are:
Stock - 11 psi at 5500 rpm - 7 psi at redline
Phase 1 - 12 psi at redline (30 hp)
Phase 11 - 14 psi at redline (43 hp)

Smaller pulley creates more boost, larger would reduce it.

Had the piggyback on now for a week and so far so good. Really makes the car so much faster. Did a 0-60 run and timed it using a stopwatch----4.6 seconds! This puts the A6 in S6 territory....
I have also watched my gas mileage pretty carefully and not seeing a huge difference for the better or worse.

In this cars yes, because the smaller pulley we installed is at the supercharger but some other cars (like the SL55 I had) required a larger pulley at the crankshaft and the supercharger pulley was left stock.
Both setups produce the same effect to drive the supercharger faster

So who's someone with the Chipwerke that will be the first to measure Boost, with this very cool and inexpensive device?

I did the same thing on my V. And some people change both the upper and lower.
Truth be told though, the 3.0 TFSI has a very small blower. When increasing the boost, the temperatures go up dramatically. An ideal solution would be to fit a larger blower, but I'm not seeing anybody designing one like the stocker with integrated intercooler cores and an intake manifold. Perhaps the housing can be extended to fit longer rotors? We used to do that with the GM 3800's. We'd extend the housing and replace the M90s 90ci rotors and snout with ones from the Ford Lightnings M112 (112ci).
