Ah! yes the quaife! does actually it help to break the 500hp? VF said it has issues on transmisions if it goes over 550hp... Maybe you tell them about quaife... I don't know...


but man! it is about $8000!!! (~5700 Euros!!) very cheap!!!!

 

 

The LSD is superb to drive on corners*, track* and/or to exit on the road from your garage with wheels completely turned: no more stupid lights on the cluster and gas cut by the DSC/DTC.
Plus it can help you to exit from snow/mud/gravel.
Plus you can do donuts
It is very helpful and useful even with 350HP, with 500 it is almost mandatory.

'transmissions issues' is the gearbox, another story.


* you'd be able to exit from corners accelerating instead of keep the gas at half pedal.


It's a cheap mod comprared to how many HP you gain with it, but that part is expensive :-P

$8000... And without installation, for who lives in Europe?

 

A water to air inter-cooler integrated into a custom intake manifold.
WHat type of inter-cooler core is used, plate or laminova type?



Is this an Eaton blower? What size unit is this? What is the max psi on the unit? $9.5K for an Eaton is a kinda crazy, At that price why not use the more efficient lysholm type unit?



The heat exchanger for the inter-cooler looks good. How much does this restrict the air flow to the stock radiator? Will a bigger radiator be needed to prevent over heating especially in warmer months of climates?


The throttle body looks cramped. Is the surge valve that tiny bosch type unit?



Who will do the tuning for this kit?

Looks very promising.

I've been thinking about this thread and come to some conclusions:


1. The fact that VF went for the roots eaton type blower is very promising indeed..with water cooled manifold as well - very sound. I understand they are subcontracting the blower to a third party (maybe eaton themselves!), anyway technically I like the whole setup.

2. The price quoted is VERY good, especially the installed option. There is no doubt if I were in the US, I would be first on the list. VF is not cheap and offer good quality - this price is really good.

3. I see on their site they have dealers in Germany. Will they honor this deal in Europe ?

 

For ?10k ?
No, thanks.

 

I understand the price is a bit less than $8K.

 

it is in $USD and Euros is around less of 5800.

 

Think I just messed my pants

 

Yes, but usually when things come here from the States the price doubles
If this is not that case, all to Germany to install it
