Turbo or supercharger

[LowlifeDubber]

Im swaying towards the supercharging idea.Is there any problem with reconditioning them myself?Can you buy the rebuild kits?Im a mechanical engineer and strip stuff like that all the time but i dont know if they have to be balanced?

Do you need standalone management or can you have a vr6 one remapped?

Standalone is better, also you need to drop compression.

I know what you mean as i have been looking into recon mine myself, as a mechanic myself it would be a lot cheaper but im not sure where to look into buying a recon kit from or how much they would cost?
I personaly would have a stand alone management as this is easier to set up and easier to play with if there is any problems?

What car is the 2ltr turbo engine coming from. I personaly would look at a VR6 engine and take it from there, the vr engine is awsome engine and well built too and the sound too is fantastic, combine that with a turbo or supercharger it will be like you died and gone to heaven 

Check the vids below

That is true but then again the mk2 doesnt weigh that much anyway, like you said the vrt is a power house and i would hope that this would make up for the weight of the engine 
That is what we should do to yours Liam, i know of a guy selling his vr for spares??? Go on you know it makes sence Rodders

No kai. But martin wants to vr his. How much the person want for engine and such. Got some updates on neg. Eg NO RUST

[Peej1981]

I will check Neg thread now. Not sure how much he wants for it. The only prob is that it has been sat for a year now so it would have to be a case of going down and really seeing what the engine is like.

Anyway like i said im on the fence on this one, supercharger or turbo  If they where women i would marry both and be a bigamist  and have the best of both worlds.
