\ VF-Engineering: VF760 Gallardo Supercharger /

We are very pleased to offer our VF-Engineering VF760 Gallardo Supercharger System for the 2009+ model years. By manufacturing this 100% bolt-on system from the ground up, we have been able to utilize the latest technology available to engineer fully custom parts using race and factory, oem quality materials.

Enhancing the Overall Driving Experience


is VFE's main goal in supercharging any of our cars. While our VF760 Gallardos still give the all-out, relentless acceleration that you would expect from a 760HP supercharged Gallardo V10, the part-throttle and "normal" everyday driving is also enhanced. The TVS-1900 delivers boost from before 2000rpm and is readily available like a hair-trigger under your right foot. It is power and performance you can use on the street in addition to the enhanced throttle response. After, when you feel the need, you have the choice to pull through the gears faster than you can even start thinking about upshifting.


VF760 Supercharger
760 hp / 600 ft/lbs
6.5 PSI
Eaton supercharger
Cast manifold Integrated air/water aftercooler
ECU software flash
100% bolt-on

35000$ - is too much for supercharger kit! I know some very professional companies, who are developing Hight-quality supercharger kits for mercedes C63 AMG, and top price is 15000$, and it is very reliable end products. I'm fan of tuning and cars, and I'm well known person about Gallardo Engine and C63, so I would not buy your product, because you probably think, that supercars owners must pay more, just because they have oppotunity to spend money on Lamborghini.

For a first post this is what you are writing... if you don't like it don't buy it.... We call it freedom of choice...

Looks top notch and a terrific power level for the street. The TT's get a little wild for street driving (althought they sure are fun). Cannot compare developing a S/C for a lambo vs a C63 Benz. That 6.2 Liter motor is in a zillion cars. Not Apples to Apples, AJ. This is MUCH less expensive than the TT kit.

But everyone always does the "may as wells" which drives the price up between $50-$100K (believe me if my ship came in, I would be rocking a UGR TTG ).

We'll be posting some of the particular aspects of our system that ensure it's performance and durability (ie- custom engineered water pipes, (some)belt routing and pulleys, custom harmonic dampener, etc) very soon.

A big difference in cost that few don't seem to realize is that the engine doesn't need to come out for any part of the installation. It simply needs to be tilted by 16-18 inches to fit the bracket assembly.

By only tilting the motor to gain the 16 inches clearance, the wiring harness, drive-shafts, exhaust, and even the rear bumper remain untouched. Before actually starting on the removal of the engine, all of that would have taken close to an extra 3-4 hours just to undo.

Does the engine need to be pulled out or does the rear bumper need to be removed for a bolt-on TT system? I would think not.

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.

The engine doesn't need to come out for any part of the installation. It simply needs to be raised by 16-18 inches to fit the bracket assembly. This saves a lot of time and money for labor.

We're currently gathering our material to release for the public. With such a custom engineered product, it is vital for us to very cautious on which technical drawings / illustrations we can release.

This is an air:water cooled system. Here is an illustration showing our custom tray, heat exchanger, and lid assembly:
