    This is the mod over all mods I would love to do but the fact it doesn't seem very popular makes you think it would be expensive.. plus if like me your not the best under a bonnet whos gonna look after it locally?

    who ever minds the local G40/G60 fraternity, sure they'd cope if not relish a new engine to tinker with!

    The act of supercharging is not hard, its just that nobody is willing to stump up the money from the off.

    A GOOD charger will set you back £1000-1200 from the off. An ebay minicharger wont cut it for £200, 230bhp is just pointless.

    Management, fueling, chassis and belt drive mods etc will all cost a large amount........add labour aswell.

    £6k for a proper setup which wont need maintanence.

    christ, i mean constant checking on belts and management.

    Oils, filters and general sundries.

    Lets not nit pick on the most basic assumptions, i was merely trying to point out that its uber expensive for a decent conversion.
