Its sounds interesting, having a supercharger on mine for about 320-330 would be amazing, but at what cost? it would need to be less that 4k otherwise id just go ihi for the same gains, yes different delivery but it needs to be cost effective to make people see past the numbers.

Pete you're talking about 4wd and supercharging it?, why have you got an ibiza?! i'd prob get an s3 if i had your bottomless pockets lol

personally I'd prefer to go the supercharger root than the IHI route, but thats my personal preference...if it costs about the same as a IHI then I'd sway towards the supercharger

for the same price yes, a supercharger on mine (230bhp) could be very interesting, but wouldnt you still need to upgrade the internals past 330ish?

Olly20VT called Storm, they want £2300 to supply just the supercharger unit. Obviously you'll also need to buy brackets, manifold, downpipe, injectors etc, not to mention mapping and fitting. So although a nice idea, could work out quite pricey.

Just to add as i think i told beaker wrong info for £2300 you get the brackets with the charger but thats it. you have to do all the pipe work youself and all the above stuff at an exstra cost. They sa9id because there are so many cars that they arn't going to do full kits for each one.
