you don't mean an induction kit do you?

and in very simple terms a supercharger is a different version of a turbo charge but without the turbo lag

out of interest... anyone popped a turbo on a mk3?

A turbo uses exhaust gases to spin the turbo creating boost where as a supercharger is belt driven (hence no lag and more low down grunt)
and to turbo the mk3 you would need some serious internal mods to run decent boost otherwise melted piston's!!

the bolt on super charger kits are available but hard to find, they aint cheap either

But as brad says you will need some serious engine work upgrading to get the engine to be able to handle it

I think there was a post about this ages ago and the concensus was if you want a turbo fit a turbo engine - this will cost £Â£Ã‚£s as well though

There was a guy on here who said he was going to turbo his 8 or 16V engine but AFAIK he hasnt updated about it
