Thanks for the info guys. I've only had my Seat about 8months and I've grown to love the little bugger so I really want to stick with it. Am I right in saying Chrisdaman on here supercharged an 8v?
i wanna put a g60 in mine (well one day lol) but i know it's gonna be hell of an expense, so am i better off getting another car? i dunno lol
(love for cars can be expensive
lol)

supercharge your 8v at the end of the day thats really all a G60 is anyway, but perhaps use a charger thats not so fragile.
Yep, G60 is (controversially, perhaps) just a 1.8 8V with a fairly poor supercharger.
Put a modern supercharger on your 2.0 8V, or buy a 1.8T. Neither will be cheap, but I reckon both would be better than a G60!

its definatly not just an 8v with a "poor" charger attached. i can only assume you dont own and drive a G60 powered car.

Amen!!!!! people under estimate the who "g" lader range!!!! especially my little 1.3 8v!! type r's arnt laughing when i sit on thier bumper
I did say it might be a controversial opinion
No, I don't own one, but I've spent a fair bit of time in one. Yes, they're nice engines. However for every hour spent enjoying it, we spent two fixing it..... I think there are better (more modern, more powerful etc) engine choices than a G60!

well im glad youve sat in one, you are now the G-lader guru of the forum, niiiicceeee.
all this talk of g laders is making me wet, going to take mine out to fetch pizza i think.

The G chargers were great - 20 years ago. Theyre just too maintenance intensive to use as a daily runner. I know some one with an immaculate standard G40 that is damn near worshipped and its still unreliable.
Not claiming to be a guru of any sort.
Probably best if you do go out, I reckon. Jesus.
haha,
i dont know enough about it to join in
but i know the noise of those chargers make gets me a bit excited.that is all...

There's no F in Quality..
i wants one to drown out the pas pump etc - at least when i get a looks and evil stares for the screaming it will be from under the bonnet and not from my mrs
G-laders are apparently more efficeint than an eaton. and I ran a g60 corrado for years with no problems so far from unreliable. 212 bhp and 265lb/ft of torque without needing to break 5.5k rpm was what attracted me to the g60!
