Supercharged RS4/5 B8

[pez81]

My S4 B8 will be remapped by Statler soon who offer a GIAC stage 2+ which im excited about. However in 12 months i need to trade up and i love the rs4 b8. Apart from the lack of immediate low down torque which you get from the s4 that engine sounds a amazing.
My question is does anyone have a supercharged v8 b8? What we talking for the conversion. As low mileage RS4s are quite reasonably priced now a supercharge upgrade could be quite a good deal. APR/magnuson are offering the 1740 blower for about 6k for the S4 and i think its the same unit. Just curious if anyone on here has done this.

Thanks in advance

As far as I know, there's less than a handful of charged RS5s (all pre 8.5, iirc), and I don't know of any successfully supercharged B8 RS4s. Also, the TVS1740 at £6k would just be for the actual compressor, not any of the fitting, fuelling or cooling additional required, and you'll need fitting and mapping on top of that.
