Hi PorscheDoc

I am quite excited about your supercharger for the 2.5 but one question that remains is in regard to the the low RPM boost when driving around cities.

Since your supercharger is one of the centrifugal types, it may not develop appreciable boost at low RPM (Boost Threshold), but still uses up prodigious amounts of engine power to operate thus possibly eating up more fuel even when just doing the daily shopping.

Do you have any data in regard to this?

Thanks
