Very good point Drew.

No way under a grand.

I'm sure it needs an upgraded headgasket too, unless I am mistaken, possibly just for superchargers.

But brakes would need upgrading, which could lead to new wheels too.

Lucky you having a 1.8 at 17, how much is insurance?

Not as clued up as most on here but surely nods like that would hurt on the insurance and also more speed would mean better brakes etc too. .

yea theres loads to consider before bolting on a turbo/supercharger.. anyone who says they want more speed out of anything other than a 16v is basically someone who has bought a mk3 based on what they can afford to insure and their mates have bought faster cars than them and they are jealous..

Dunno what you're talking about chap lol! My 1.8 GL is a good engine, and pretty quick as well, beats most of the boy racers round my way apart from the ones who are pushing more than a 16V GTI. As far as I'm concerned though, I'm not fussed about speed, I bought the 1.8 as the 1.4 and 1.6 proved to only save me £50 on insurance tops, so thought may as well have a bigger engine. I knew it wasn't fast but I've gone for the low and slow approach. Instead of speed make it look good :)

Lol, the 1.6 is quicker. Well one of 'em is. 1.8 has 5lbs more tourque according to the manual I have.

My 1.8 is the 90BHP version, I'm happy with that personally.
