so if memory serves me right, basically has everyone that installed the charger needed to change out at least the fuel pump?

from what I gathered, depending on whose car it was, these were changed out....
1. Fuel Pump
2. Fuel Pump Regulator
3. Injectors

I know all cars will be different, but at least this will point people in the right direction should things start happening after the install.

 

As far as my memory serves brett has been the only one to have a fuel pump issue. He had the problem BEFORE he did the supercharger it just became more pronuonced after the added fuel requirements from the s/c. Only dave had a bad FPR as that didnt cure bretts car. Im up to five on my install list and none have had anything wrong.

 

I installed one kit locally and no issues with fuel, minus the 10.XX AFR in a few spots that are common for these kits. I think Brett is the only one who had injector//fuel pump issues.

 

Yeah,

I was the only one that had this issue. it must have been a freak problem but I can tell you know that it was all worth it. ont he way to work, i sh_t all over a new S4 with intake, downpipes, exhaust and chip.

 

memory served you wrong my friend. Please have the rumor stop here
Force Induction often can trigger some problems but not always the case. There are several of us had the S/C installed and current experience nothing but joy.

 

Really? I thought they are 420hp V8?

 

I'm just preparing my self brah for when I install the charger myself.

 

i was surprised myself. if you saaw this kids face! i could not stop laughing at his face. he was so pissed. I think they have around 350 not 420

I believe you Brett. 340hp is ok, I think you have more than him. Nice kill but watch out for cops.

 

I dunno, i thought they were faster than that. oh well it made my day!

 

Not only did you stomp him, you still get better fuel economy. Those #'s suck!! The big question is what is the wieght of the S4, I thought is was a pretty fat cow?? The power to wieght ratio plays a big part in a race.

 

yeah, they need that big v8 inorder to stay up to some of its reputation. it was nice looking none the less. its was a light blue with black rims. it also sounded very nice with its APR exhaust!

 

They are sharp looking, but its still an Audi/VW and I am not big on German cars. Reliability is just not there. But non the less, great KILL!!! Hearing you talk about the SC on the 6sp is really making me want one. I am going to have to hold off for now, as I want a new house, but I still want it.

BTW, how is the clutch feeling? Is it slipping, or is it holding strong?

 

The clutch seems to be holding fine. No slipping on normal street driving. i will be giong to the track next wednesday. i will let you know what I think about this clutch lasting.

 

Don't you mean Quattro all wheel drive?

 

Ugggh... don't even get me started on VW/Audi POS cars.

 

LOL, i know what you mean. I owned one for about 6 months and couldnt take it anymore!

 

no that's the new "R"S4.

 

yeah, that would have been a different story!

 

Dude I so hate working on them. I know you do to!!!
