An ABF is a 16v engine for a mk3? So i dont get how u want a supercharger or an abf?

As for the eaton, you could speak to StealthRacing about a supercharger upgrade for the 8v. But no where does a kit for the uk spec 8v engine, only for the us spec engine.

Depends if you fancy doing it yourself? Or paying someone to do the whole job?

As mikey says, there are no kits.. it'd need to be a custom job. Probably looking in the region of 2 grand fitted. You could rip the 2.slow out, fit a VR6 for a lot less money.. and end up with a faster and more reliable car.

As Topher said the Vr6 conversion is your easist bet and will be a lot cheaper or maybe go for a 1.8T

turbos are cheeper but still not cheep.  need engine managment as well, piggyback crap will just make poor power or melt stuff
all the VW's have gone bar 1.

Ok, the new conclusion is to be a hater, and not have the fun of making a car what it is!

How a hater?
Why spend a great deal of time and money when you can buy the real thing?
And the resale value too! You still wont have a Mk3 VR6 but an 8v Mk3 with a botched VR6 conversion!

If you are really set on a supercharger why not look at the G60 engine?
