   There has been alot of talk about what turbo's you can use from other cars that would work with the saxo.
   
   E.G
   
   Car with twin turbo's tend to be a better option as the turbo's are smaller.
   
   SOOOOO I was wondering what supercharger and off what car would be best to use on a saxo.
   
   I can only think of the Mini Cooper, G60 or G40 that might be anyuse.
   
   What do you reckon?

   most standard superchargers are not the best and tend to be very inefficent/large. New mini is a good example as as soon as anyone wants to tune them properly the charger is binned, hence so many of them cheap on ebay.
   
   Totally useable though dont get me wrong
