Thats right. Absolutely.
Or, you can get the ABT VR6 with the supercharger, like the one I saw
yesterday! Its pretty much a straight foreward instalation. Everything is
there. (For the cars that have the VR6 already.) I dont know how much they
want for one since its not on the market (Could be wrong) yet but I bet its
pricey. They had one in a A3 Golf. Looks clean.
