Hey Guys(Gals included)!!

Just got off the phone with Nick who's the head of R&D at VF Engineering.

Theyv'e finished work on developement of a supercharger for the V8 Cayenne and are offering it as a bolt on kit.

Also...for the V6 Cayenne...they're looking for an owner of a V6 near the Anaheim area or anywhere in CA for that matter who's willing to let them use your Cayenne for a month to tweak the supercharger for it before releasing it as a kit. Nik said you'd get an awesome deal for the supercharger in your Cayenne and if you can stomach renting a car for a few weeks or if you have other wheels to drive they'd definately make it worth your while.

For the V6, the supercharger is 6psi, est HP gain approx 80-90 HP bringing the total to around 330 hp or so for the V6. Also good torque increase. Est. cost is $5000 for the V6.

Go to VF-engineering.com and check on the kit for the Touareg V6 for more specs...they're both very similar.

If interested e-mail Nik at Nik@vf-engineering.com.

Steve,

Thankyou for your email contact and phone call this morning. As
discussed, we are looking for a Cayenne V6 to be left with us for a
month to allow us to adjust our duct work for the throttle body which is
located differently to the Treg. You may be aware that the Cayenne V6
has the Treg engine but just a different manifold.

We would also retune software on our 4wd dyno and offer the test car
customer a 50% discount on the kit and there would be no labor charge.
We are currently finishing up on our V8 kit and are keen to complete the
V6 kit, but need a test car.

Thanks
Nik Saran
Head of R&D, CEO

Last year at the German Autofet we all displayed our cars together under the EVO/GIAC umbrella and I got to take a peak at their V8 R&D car... It truly was an awesome looking kit! We do their Blower Kits on the 996/977 cars already and can't wait to try the first one on the Pepper

Been looking at upgrading (already) to V8 power, and I am a fan of supercharging as an inexpensive means to increase power--huge benefit to my 1.9l 4-cyl BMW wtih no reliability issues whatsoever. Therefore, I am tempted to consider a roadtrip to LA and leave the truck for a month. However...

Can the Tiptronic in the V6 handle the power increase--differences between the V6 and V8 Tip transmissions?

Any other V6-unique drivetrain parts that will see additional stress (i.e. what drivetrain parts are different for the V6 vs. V8?

Porsche will clearly (and rightly so) deny any post installaton warranty claims on engine, transmission, and drivetrain...what about warranty on non-mechanical part(s)--brakes, electronics, body hardware, etc?

Any thoughts on the above would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Mark
