Need project advice on S/C
I am thinking about having a AA super charger installed on my 2001 A4 convertible that has 60,000 miles on it. What modest cost options at that time would you reccommend with this project? For example due to the mileage are there any serious concerns? Should I change valve springs, etc? I'm great at doing something and then have someone say "hey dummy, while you did that wht didn't you do this too?" Your help and suggestions would be appreciated. Car cuurently has 4.10 gears, LG Pro long tube headers, free flow cats and Borla Stingers. Thanks.

Consider a T-trim upgrade.
Valve springs are recommended since your intake charge counters the intake valve spring's pressure.
A good methanol injection kit is recommended. Alky Control is the kit of choice for many good reasons.
