That supercharger setup makes the Gallardo sound less exotic, almost like a Viper as compared to the TT Gallardos whose exhaust sounds incredible.

How much is this as compared to say, a Heffner bolt on twin turbo?

What are the performance number differences compared to a bolt on TT Gallardo?

How are you keeping the air intake temperatures cool with the twin screw?

Is this an intercooled system?

I think showing all the components to the kind of clientele that would buy this demystifies the whole package. If it's that simple, then great, but marketing this like a bolt on Mustang kit with some rubber hoses and larger injectors for Lambo guys is not the best approach IMO.

Due the the need to install new manifilds I would just about bet (but not garuntee) that even the 'bolt on' UGRTT requires an engine out install. Also since turbos muffle exhaust gasses and superchargers do not I can't see how it would affect the sound. Likely the car in the VF video has a stock exhaust and the cars you see in all the UGR videos are probably staight piped running on race gas and they are usually the big $$$ builds. Companies have to balance how many units they will sell along with R&D costs into the price. 760HP in an AWD package with no turbo lag would be a pretty impressive package.
