No longer stock '06 E55, A3 3.2 Quattro, LRD4 HSE, R107 280SL
Turbos are much more efficeint than S/C's so this makes perfect sense. I think we may well have seen the last of the K model benzez right here. I dont see S/C being used down the line - they are just too inefficient.

Exchanging the S/C on our cars for TT's yielding same boost will provide an extra 70hp minimum.... and better traction... and yes might we may have to live with some lag but some decent VGT's will help also being 5.4L wont suffer too much - just look at the 600TT's! Also you can use the area occupied by the S/C for a proper LARGE I/C... gotta be done guys!!!
