a supercharger does sound nice but not as nice as a turbo :P   Not a big turbo anyway.

The only thing i don't like so much about superchargers is the fact it doesn't kick in, theres nothing better then the feeling of a tubby kicking in and slamming u back in ya seat.  then a little turbo stall at the end  :evil:

im halfway through my project at the mo.


im fully rebuilding my mk3 gti shell from bare metal with a fully welded in roll cage.

im runnin a 2.0l 16v abf engine which has been fully rebuilt using forged pistons steel rods a lightened and balanced crank and fly wheel.

my cylinder head is pretty much standard just fully rebuilt with piper cams.

ive had to make a custom inlet manifold and exhasut manifold all boost hoses and run a management system.

its a lot of work but will be very impressive when finished if you need any advice pm me and i can tell you where you can get lots of off the shelf bits to turbo your car!
