would go with supercharger as easier to control than a turbo and less under bonnet temps. just reckon would be more reliable

supercharger for me can get a nice healthy 300 bhp if you use the right parts and set up right, of course thats on a vts engine

What bits will u need? Are there any 'off the shelf kits? Links?
Also I heard you have to convert to rwd. Is this true?

there are a few kits you can buy (c i tunung spring to mind)
and no rear wheel drive is not required (as reallr you need mid engine rear wheel drive as its easier than getting the drive bacwards from the origonal placing of the engine)

GMC are the ones to talk to mate
as long as the internals are uprated you should be fine

you can have a reliable 260 ish bhp at the fly for around 4-5k if you do the work yourself. There is a guy i know running this at the moment and only thing that failed was kms ignition driver. personally i would get a dta ecu over kms though.

I used to have a supercharged vtr and it was very reliable. Didn't have any problems at all and I had it supercharged for over a year
