supercharging an 8v gti

[Khare]

Khare, you really have got a bee in your bonnet 
Can you not buy bolt on charger kits for the 8v, similar to the vr6?
The vr can take up to 300bhp without mods(apparently).
Would the 8v not take any boost without lowering the CR?

BBM have that but it is pretty pricey mind you.

save your cash and put it into a better engine....

Wise and true point, but then again what is the fun of buying a fast car and making it even faster? Wise? yeah, but making a slow car fast is fun and a good laugh. Let's be honest, not many supercharged 8v's about in the UK at the moment although it might catch on in years to come.

Dont you have to raise the cr on a vr6 with a bolt on kit?

I believe the VR6 has a pretty high CR, think it needs to be lowered from what I've read.

No lower it with a spacer plate.

Would be worthwhile having a search in the mk3 and forced induction sections over on VW Vortex. Way more supercharged 8vs over there compared to the UK. Plenty of information and build threads to go through.

What's the limit on the 020?

020's don't like much above 170bhp but what kills them is big low-end torque - weaknesses are the second gear synchro and diff rivets. It would be very sensible to upgrade to an 02A.

Can get a cross flow head of a mk4 8v.

[kells]

yeah guess you could off the 2.0l 8v

dunno much about it, as i aint ever wanted to do it personally

Crossflow was also used in the Beetle.
