Quote from: boneybradley on 07 April 2009, 15:35the 20v 1.8t is the easiest conversion (as there's lots of specialists and parts avalible), then again I wouldn't turbo the 2.0 8 or 16v as both would require some substantial head,piston work for reliability.my fave would be a properly supercharged 8v as the low down torque would be ok so 160-190bhp (depending on charger,pulley and chip) isn't much but diesel ammounts of torque would be fun without the soot or noise!(the yanks are running around 220bhp with engine work......16v killer )buy a diesel?

I don't think a semi will give the same results
Well do it then Chris!
supercharging a mk2 is like giving an 85 year old man a pair of nike trainers and a bottle of lucozade. It just aint gonna go right.
