Great update, impressive number. Pump gas? 93 octane?

93 which is US it is 98 RON Euro, great number looking for 30whp more when the ecu adapts or through a re-map.

I dont have a go pro, I dont drive the car much and take videos but I'll borrow a proper hd camera from one of my friends. I just await my HRE's now.

Will do, seems like there is a marginal sound difference compared to pre-supercharger stage, I expect the tone of the exhaust to be different and the intake as well due to the E55 airbox.

Just drove the car, lots of traffic didnt feel very fast but when I got it on the highway I was able to hit 240kmh much quicker than my old attempts without the supercharger.

Without the supercharger I might just hit 200-220 barely, even when I slowed down in the K2 Kleemann I think the stock car needs a couple of more seconds to go to hit 240kmh.

Highway pull seems fast at top end, it is a hot day today and lots of traffic so couldnt get a clear verdict. I asked the tech if it felt fast, he said yes. However, behind a wheel its like playing Granturismo or Forza its that easy to drive at 120kmh beyond below that esp light comes on a lot.

The power delivery felt very linear, in a good way it feels very oem for a modified car.

Will pick it up in a couple of days, just waiting for my rims. Due to crappy tyre conditions and traffic, If the road was empty I will be hitting topspeed very easily

Mo have you upgraded the brakes yet? With a machine that fast you should seriously look into it for a matter of safety!

What brakes, it stops you should see how the electronics are fighting for power the engine is a beast. The tyres are no match for 412 torque to the wheels at little as 2,000rpm available.

Brakes are more than capable for its power, lighter wheels on the way better stopping times.

HRE on next tuesday

Got the car back today:

I've got many good things to say:
1) Drives like oem
2) No heat generating through traffic, temps consistent like oem
3) Power delivery very smooth for a Supercharger no sudden boost curve or lag
4) I couldnt hear the supercharger whine my exhaust system is too loud.

End product:

Note to self: Traction control always on due to :

0-140kmh spinning

Gets the tail-out as little as 2,000rpm
