Maximum boost pressure is 0.9 bar at which point the engine is making 469 hp at 6,100 rpm with 516 lb-ft of torque between 2,650 and 4,500 rpm. The internal parts of the supercharger rotate at 23,000 rpm at the engine crankshaft speed of 6,500 rpm. Quoted from Sports Car International, May 2003.

Stock boost is 11.6 psi.

Pulleys add 2-3 psi depending on the tuner.

Kompressor clutch is engaged by DME if load exceeds 30% or rpm is above 2900.
