I am supercharged
Took me a couple years, but I finally got it. Did a self install, first time I really ever did anything "major" on a car. Note: This is the 30v supercharger from PES.

Driving impressions, well its just like stock, except everything is amplified 2 fold. Its faster then stock WRX's, but not as fast as a chipped S4. It is more plesent to drive though, since there's just power at all rpm's (most notably below 1k and above 4k, there always was a dry spot in-between those before the sc... and now still is). Quite as hell, can hardly hear it.
Worth it? Well if you are stuck with your 2.8, yes. If you're on the fence, no, go with a more modifiable engine. Am I happy? Hell yes!!! Driving my car is fun again.

I've never driven a 1.8t, but I have driven my friends s4 before he got it chipped
This car is hard to compare against an un-chipped s4, just because there is no lag. I'll have to give my friend a holler and doe some runs with him to see what the difference is between our cars though...

they are surprisingly quick because of the staight line power curve.
Not punchy like a chipped 1.8T, but still fun to drive since it has the power of a K04'd 1.8T. definite hit.
nice job on teh DIY install.
