VF Engineering Supercharger Install Thread

[scott23]

Car is going in on Monday for VF-800 install so going to use this thread to document the install. Hope it will be helpful for others thinking of doing this kit. I will be having this done at my local Audi dealership, they have a great R8 tech there who serviced my 2 R8's, he also installed the VF-750 kit on my R8 V10. I brought him the instructions the other day and he said much easier than the install on the R8. That took about 40 hours and he thinks this can be done in about 20 hours since no need to unbolt motor or run all that plumbing up to the front, also no bumpers need to come off. When he did my R8 ECUs needed to be removed and sent to VF to be tuned, but for the Huracan no need to do that. They sent out a cable and tech will install tune right through obdi port. I had VF kits on both my R8V10 and R8V8 so the decision on which kit to go with on my Huracan was very easy to make. Both those kits ran flawlessly and from keeping in contact with the current owners they are still with no problems. When the tech installed on my R8V10 it was his first time installing a supercharger on a car. He said the ease of the VF kit made it a straightforward job and when he did have questions VF technical support was always ready to help. While car is sitting on the lift going to do a couple other little mods. Going to paint the X-brace body color and thinking also body color for brakes which are silver now. Any thoughts on thoe color choices?

If it was mine I would have had yellow callipers belts and rear brace.
But blue blue and blue will look cool.

I did think about yellow but blue won out in a vote by my friends

[L63Avio]

Agree. More subtle.

Looks awesome. Blue calipers but keep the wheels that color.

Yea I had either black or titanium wheels on my last couple cars so I'm liking the change with these silver wheels

Dropped off car this morning for install. Fuel pump needs to come out to be modified so tech asked me to bring in with just a 1/4 of tank of gas. Of course since car has been sitting stored for winter tank was full. Plan was to siphon out gas but found that impossible to do but luckily we had decent weather this weekend so got out for a few hour drive. Plan for day one is he will go though entire install and order anything he wants to replace. He also did this on my R8 install, he says there are some bolts, washers and gaskets that should not be reused once taken apart. I like that he is this thorough and cost of those parts is not much. I will make a list of these parts and post it here.

And, what was the outcome?

Stopped by today to check out and he is moving along nicely. He was very impressed with how easily it was to install pulley bracket, no need to unbolt and tilt motor. The way VF designed it it can now be installed from underneath car. I took a picture but kind of hard to see. He is doing a bunch of pictures as he goes and will give them to me a thumb drive when he is done and I will post here. He also has the blower tray in now and before that went in there was a bunch of rerouting EVAP lines and valves. While manifold off took a picture of valves and the dual injection really fixed the carbon buildup problem. They were clean as a whistle. Also dropped off my X Brace that I had painted body color.
