Latest developments on the G4 Supercharger for the Audi/VW 4.2L engine group
Production tooling has officially begun! We will be delivering complete production units in March, 2009. The systems will be available in 2 stages for all of the 5V multi port fuel injected engines which include the Audi S4, A6, A8, Allroad, and VW Touareg.
STAGE 1 will be a low boost (5psi) kit with a power increase of approx 20% over stock. The expected retail price is $6,495.
STAGE 2 will be an intercooled version with 8psi with a air – liquid intercooler system producing a power increase of approx 30-40%. The intercooled version will retail at approx. $8,495.
The base system is designed so that it may be upgraded easily to the intercolled version at any time. The intercooler core is inserted into the top of the intake manifold by simply removing the manifold cover plate. The system will include the intercooler core which is nestled into the intake manifold, a heat exchanger which sits behind the bumper cover, a Bosch high flow pump, innovative brackets to attach the pump to the intake manifold, an OEM quality coolant reservoir/expansion tank, plus all the hoses, fittings, and wiring needed to complete the installation.
With the worldwide interest in this product (especially at the price point) we are expecting demand to exceed supply for our initial production run. For that reason we are offering a special promotional offer to those who would like to “secure” the purchase of their kit now. Pre-production orders are now available at the reduced price of $5,995 for the non-intercooled kit and $7,995 for the intercooled kit.

We are seeking cooperation of individuals with the following models/years so that we may test fit the system and custom taylor the ECU tuning to vehicles of model years not stated above. Most likely everything will fit perfectly, as the engines are all essentially the same, but we want to be 100% sure. Your cooperation can be your gain as we will be offering free installation to individuals ready, willing, and able to work with us. You can have a supercharger system installed and tuned on your car by PES for a mere $5995!

The Audi S6 engine has a very smooth and uniform response from a very low regime. Audi S6 has preferred a great engine cubic capacity (5.2 l) to a turbocharged engine or a motor drawing very fast just to make it more pleasant to use.

The gearbox is necessarily automatic and six-speed transmission has a development with which gives the maximum speed (limited to 250 km / h) in fifth and maximum power regime.

The Audi S6 has serial stability control (ESP) that can be disconnected into two phases. Initially disconnects the traction control that limits the power of the engine and remains active stability, in this case, the traction control can be turned off at any speed (not the case in other versions of the A6). If pressed the button again, disconnects stability control; remain active in any case the anti-lock brakes and traction control function equivalent to limited slip differential (EDL).

For almost all conditions, it is best to take all connected. In slow roads, disconnecting the traction control makes accelerate noticeably in curve of what is possible with the traction control connected.
