First off...
Can you supercharger a vts ?
Second...
How do you do it and what will i need to do this ?
Can any one help, as i think this way is easyer than puttin a turbo on.

in what ways do you think supercharging is easier? your looking at 5k for the conversion plus clutch,brakes, low compression pistons etc. going the turbo route if anything is cheaper but harder overall on the car. if your serious then i suggest you do a lot more research before you even think about going ahead.

You probably best off paying a garage like GMC to do the work for you, whichever route you choose to take, turbo or supercharger.
Theres alot of threads on these forums regading these subjects, you can search for related stuff using the search feature at the top of the page. it should chuck up some interesting bits which you probably want to know. Other than that, it's probably a good idea to speak to GMC or carworx. I think thier details are about here somewhere. Good luck with it.

Thing will be a weapon if you go ahead with it! VTS supercharged will scran almost anything off the line as it's light!

you can expect to see about 200bhp at the wheels if its charged or has a turbo!
and gaf, what exactly does an lsd do? how does it help put the power down?
