Default MTM Supercharger for S5 -- 21000 EUR (~$30,000) without VAT && 25000 EUR (~$35000) with....

Do US buyers have to pay VAT?

Default No, but for $85k you can buy a much better car than a supercharged S5.

Default There is a supercharger coming out that will reportedly go for $7500 - under 10k

VF Engineering.

There is also the PES Supercharger (450bhp) that will likely be competitive as well. Maybe APR also...

Default Both companies have had kits for other engines for sometime, but I'd like

to see what the ultimate boost psi. is on them. 450bhp sounds pretty conservative though so they may be using low psi without intercooling unlike the MTM setup which gets over 500bhp.

Default I had a friend with a R32 VF and he hated it...

He went HPA twin turbo instead..

Is PES making one?

Default INFO FROM PES

Hi Robert,
Thanks, but I just picked up my S5 last week ;>) What a great all around car! I
want to sleep in that interior.
We will be devoloping the SC for it. In the mean time we have been dyno testing
the car and making good power with our chip tuning. We are over 25 HP/TQ to all
4 wheels over stock right now! I will add you to our SC newsletter.

Regards,
Tony
PES
