A 97 has no supercharger or a chip available. It has the 12 valve engine not the 30 valve one that accepts the blower and chip.

not much else available for the 2.8 12v.
use good tune up parts and engine will run for many miles.

actually there is a supercharger kit....and i'm pretty sure theres a chip as well, but it might just be for the 30v....

RUN RUN AWAY. That is a scam. Search this forum and audiworld for motodyne. He has scammed many forum members for thousands of dollars. [:@][:'(]

Concur/confirm MotoDyne has a rep for cheating people out of their money. No one, and I mean NO ONE that I know in ANY of the Audi foorums will recommend that you do business with them. In fact, the guy from MotoDyne has been known to post in forums saying how great his company is but, from what I've been able to tell from following the threads, hasn't ever produuced any ACTUAL modded vehicles for anyone to physically see.

Caveat emptor, my friend, caveat emptor!
