OE Ultimate Under Supercharger Kit (Audi 3.0T Gen 1 B8.5 & C7)

Under-Supercharger Service Kit (Gen 1 EA837 B8.5, D4, 4L, and C7 3.0T)

Don’t pull the supercharger twice. Do it once, and do it right.

If you are removing the supercharger on your Gen 1 Audi 3.0T to replace a failing thermostat or PCV valve, replacing the rest of the critical "under-blower" components while you're in there isn't just recommended, it's mandatory.

The factory plastic cooling components are notorious failure points that leave drivers stranded and facing massive labor bills. The Vorsprung Autowerk Ultimate Under-Supercharger Service Kit bulletproofs the valley of your 3.0T. We've taken the guesswork out of this heavy-duty maintenance job by assembling the highest-quality OEM, OES, and upgraded metal components on the market. This is the most complete kit on the market!

Say goodbye to cracking plastic housings and leaking seals. This kit is designed for enthusiasts who demand peak reliability for their daily drivers or stage-tuned track weapons.

Under Supercharger Kit FAQ

What's included in this Audi B8.5 under supercharger kit?
A billet aluminum thermostat assembly, aluminum heater pipe, Graf metal water pump, OEM Hengst PCV valve, Elring upper and lower intake manifold gaskets, the PCV-to-supercharger adapter pipe, an Elring injector seal kit, and the small breather hose and clamp hardware. Full part numbers are listed above.

This kit covers a lot of models. Does it fit my B8.5 Q5, SQ5, or A7?
Yes. This is the widest-fitment kit we offer, covering B8.5 S4, B8/B8.5 S5, C7 A6, A7, A8, B8.5 Q5/SQ5, Q7 (2015), and the VW Touareg, all on the Gen 1 EA837 3.0T supercharged engine. Check the fitment table above against your model year, or email us your VIN and we'll confirm.

How is this different from the standalone B8 kit?
The B8 kit is scoped to the earlier 2010-2012 S4/S5/A6/Q7 applications with slightly different part numbers for the water pump and PCV valve. This B8.5 kit covers the broader Gen 1 range listed in the fitment table, including B8.5, C7, D4, and 4L platforms.

Do I need to replace every part in the kit, or just the one that failed?
Once the supercharger is off the car, the labor to remove and reinstall it is the expensive part, not the parts themselves. Replacing the whole valley now means you won't be paying for that labor twice.

Are these OEM parts or aftermarket?
Both. This kit mixes genuine OEM hardware with trusted OE-supplier brands (Graf, Hengst, Elring) and a Vorsprung-engineered billet aluminum thermostat housing in place of the factory plastic piece that tends to crack. From time to time we may need to substitute gaskets for another OE equivalent due to supplier shortages, but we will never substitute hard parts.

A Word on Why This Kit Doesn't Cost What You'd Expect

A full under-supercharger kit with this much parts content should, on paper, cost more than it does. The reason it doesn't isn't that we cut something out, it's that we didn't mark up every single line item 50-100% the way a lot of bundled kits do. Ten parts at a 75% markup each adds up fast, and none of that extra margin makes the water pump spin any better.

We priced this kit off what the components actually cost to source and assemble, not off what the market would tolerate charging for convenience. Every OEM and OE-supplier part in this kit is the exact same part number you'd get anywhere else; we just didn't stack a markup on top of a markup ten times over.

• Real Part Numbers, Real Sources: Genuine OEM hardware and trusted OE-supplier brands, not unbranded substitutes.
• One Reasonable Markup, Not Ten: We price the kit as a kit, not as several separately-inflated line items bundled together.
• No Convenience Tax: You're paying for the parts and the R&R this kit saves you, not for someone else's margin stack.

Bottom line: a lower price on a complete kit isn't a sign that something's missing, it's a sign that nobody padded the invoice on the way to your cart.
