Thats basically the same charger as mine, but expect it to be very hard to fit, it Might not even clear the bonnett with that inlet manifold on it. As Singh said mine is a 32v which is very different from yours, I believe your inlet ports are flat where as mine are angled.

5-6psi is doable as its the same principle that MTM, PES and the likes use.

yes well i did pdf a format for everything il see if i can find it maybe it will help with things
but yes i think a low boost application is a good place for me to start of course its all going to take months to come together but i can think of nothing better than showing up at one of the future meets with a supercharger on a 40v v8 thats got to be a rarity in the a8 and s8

Thats what the pictures are,

1) get a big cutting tool
2) remove half the engine
3) do a bit of welding
4) fit it all back together
5) Pray it works

the gear box will take the power no problem you just need to get a remap by a good tuner so they can map it so it dose not give max torque until higher in the rev range and gears its the torque that will kill the box so if you can tame it then its fine :-)
