It has severe cooling problems, and to get any more than mild performance gains out of it, you have to spend more money.

I wouldn't do it.

However, there are a couple guys on these boards that have gotten it to respectable levels. Do a SEARCH on 'powerdyne'.

It's an ok mild little kit. I wouldn't run slicks with it (belt breakage)

You need to redo the intake side of the blower plus fix the cooling issues.

I would personally go for a ATI D1SC headunit and bracketry, custom pulleys and make a custom front mount intercooler setup. (in the nose)

Cheers,
Chris

Defintely don't put it on your girlfriends's car. Just do a head and cam or even just a converter and you can get 11's in an A4. You have to be a glutton for punishment (like me) to want to deal with a powerdyne setup.

Powerdyne blows (no pun intended). Do like BlackLS1ta said, and invest in heads/cam instead. You'll probably get more power out of that. Good luck with everything!
