Surley having a turbo is better than not having a turbo?

Yup it's been done several times using an Eaton M62 supercharger from a merc (£250), lowered compression via thick head gasket, short inlet manifold, G60 throttle body, VW 1.8T fuel rail, cossie yellow injectors, Mocal oil cooler and megasquirt ECU

Supercharging is a lot easier than turbocharging and a lot cheaper by the sounds of it!
