Most high-end applications of the twin-screw compressors will have a magnetic clutch to save fuel however.

I believe that from an engineering standpoint this has a Roots-type foundation which makes it less efficient (but cheaper)than a true compressor-type twin-screw design. ^^ No… I believe that from an engineering standpoint this has a Roots-type foundation which makes it less efficient (but cheaper)than a true compressor-type twin-screw design.

The TVS flows so much better and so much cooler than the old "heaton" that you get gains even if you drop the boost. Swap to a smaller pulley and add more fuel for even more fun.

I wish audi would have gone back to turbos. audi always has a very conservative boost tune, the 2.7 twin turbo ran in the 250hp range and a simple chip sends it to 318hp and 382 lbft. thats an insane jump for a simple ecu remapping.

They are dropping the M62's out of the LSJ, with this? Well they are both roots type so I guess so... That much of an improvement eh? ^ Really? They are dropping the M62’s out of the LSJ, with this?

I know a few guys who have ditched the M62 in favor of a TVS of the same size and are reporting hp & tq gains, lower IATs, & better fuel mileage on less boost than before the swap.

Very nice system. It is amazing the amount of power that can reliably be added to a well tuned engine. Stock is plenty fast, but increase it to more than 500 RWHP and it is just insane.

I'm very surprised about this news though... I wonder why Audi is going S/C rather then the traditional bi-turbos??? I thought a bi-turbo would have way more potential then a roots type S/C...

A lot of 3.5 liter NA cars are putting down 300 HP. It must be a pretty conservative tune to try to maximize fuel efficiency. Even so, I would hope for better numbers. I do love the new twin screw blowers though. Supercharger design has become much more efficient. I think we will see a lot more force fed cars by manufacturers in the near future.
