    In Reply to: 2nd. What is with this B8 S4 supercharger crap? posted by rktskicar on 2008-09-26 20:46:51

    Power that starts at idle, if desired. Supercharging can leverage freer flowing intake and exhaust, as well as more cubic inches, to raise power, and lower intake temps. For example, moving from 2.25 inch to 3" exahust on my old SCed vehicle dropped peak boost by 2 or 3 PSI, but increased power. On my S4, opening the exhaust is more about reducing heat and allowing more backpressure to be used for boost. For city driving, supercharging is more of a match to the stop and go, low and mid-range RPM stuff. If you need more than 10 PSI on city streets, you could probably go big all motor build, and spare no expense. You've obviously got money to burn on tickets!
