good point.
The charger is probably near its limits at 250, i can buy an off the shelf kit for any level of power i want even up to 600 bhp if i so desire.
The audi engine is lighter gives better weight distribution, is more economical, its a much newer power plant purpose built for boost and tested in tens of thousands of cars around the world , the kv6 was not built for boost and it shows, the only r and d has been done on just one individual car in this country...

Not to mention the sheer amount of labour, design and work involved, my build was engine out gearbox out the full monty then design and build custom engine mounts etc, the supercharger just bolts on top of the existing engine and takes 1-2 days to complete maximum.
You just cant compare!!!
