sure ya have.
ab was just saying that you shouldn't be buying the supercharger 'cause it's rare, but because they make 300hp... and there's no lag.
but in things i read about the s4 is the turbo spools at 1800 RPM so if i never shifted when the RPM would be dropping below that i would have no lag right? (plz help never had a turbo car except i drove a wrx but that had some lag unless u slam it)

When they say spool at 1800, yes the blades are turning, but not enough to throw u back in ur seat. Get a s/c. you will be glad u did it.

the only thing is that a s/c for my car is more than trading it in and buying a s4 and if i had a s/c then what? an exhaust and that about it for performance

Yea there is plenty of options with the supercharger. One misconception most ppl have is that both the supercharger as well as apr s4's graphs above are CRANK hp, wheel hp numbers are abour 22% less.

But they will still both decrese the same amount so it doesn't matter as long as both cars hp is at the crank.

I was dissapointed with th numbers i saw from an s4 with k04's, 324 whp on pump and around 425 whp on race gas. I should be making those numbers soon with 2 less cylendars and 1 less turbo
Those are weak numbers for a KO4 modded S4. They should be closer to 340 at the wheel.
