Hi Johnny,
You would need to specify model year to get a useful answer regarding supercharger kits. I have a 928 Motorsports kit for my 84 USA car, and it is a very well thought out kit, well documented, well built, and not made in China.
Good luck,
Dave

Yep sorry it’s for a 1990 s4 auto

Agree 928 motorsports kit looks great but import duty’s vat and shipping are adding serious costs to get it to Northern Ireland 😭

No European s/c kits currently available that I have heard of. The Albrex kit (Germany ?) was available years ago but not today as far as I know.
Demand in Europe was always very low for a local manufacturer to get involved. Try asking on the 928uk list as there may be someone with a kit they wish to sell.

yes ,pity…. here in Belgium too. 12 years ago , me in financial better times , bought a lot of stuff from 928Motorsports … i think it was + 30 % ! ( import and taxes ) … now , retired, i have to be "carefull" and search Europe suppliers…

Good luck with your search ! i recently did it on my BMW 850....besides a support "design" , mechanical it is rather simple, a blower , pulleys/belt , and tubing /hoses, blow off valve , intercooler.... Most important is the mapping… be sure you get that covered ! After +10 dyno runs ( and mappings) we are still not there as we want it …. don't know what it is on a '90 S4.

I've got one.. 928-specific for the LH-jet to allow retruning factory ECU's. Also some excellent software from another of our members to work with it:

We designed a reprogrammable NVRAM module that replaces the stock EPROM 87-95. When fitted to LH and EZK it is then possible to tune/reprogram via the car's diagnostic port. See http://www.jdsporsche.com/PEM%20sharktuner.html

For the ECUs used in the earlier LH cars, it is more a conventional em
ulatator where the Sharktuner plugs directly into the EPROM socket for tuning, then a EPROM is blown to that new binary file. See

I have one that is available. Head unit, bracket, air to air inter cooler, pulleys and ecu if required. You will need to determine piping and tuning.
