   Both sites quote the conversion at around £5K including fitting.

   5k for a supercharger is Expensive as hell; especially when your motors engine is prob worth around £500 or less.

    for the full works, S/C conversion your looking at around 5.5k for the engine then another 1.5k for a good brake and suspension setup cuase your gonna need them too!
    
    So your looking around 7k with a bit to spare i reckon!
    
    Also worth takin note that these cars are unreliable, i found out the hard way, they should not be used as a daily driver although i do with mine and it has been ok since i spent about 3k on updates and repairs.
    
    Your fule bills will triple! my VTS S/C does around 180 miles to a full tank if driven sensibly...about 120 if driven hard! i do around 300 miles a week so you can imagine my fuel bills!
    
    You will go through tyres very quickly becuase of the extra power...
    
    Depending on how much boost you run you may need to do some gearbox work...the standard unit cant really handle the power so your looking at another £800 to get that sorted with a LSD and new bearings/syncrhos's etc etc!
    
    As i said things do break easy...the car isnt made for 200+ bhp and wasnt designed for it!
    
    So if you wanna do it then consider the fact that it will spend 25% of its tome off the road and that it will cost you a small fortune.
    
    If you wait about 3-4 months then my MK2 S/C VTS will be up for sale, that runs 228Bhp and is a very low miler! Excellent condition! Fully sorted, turn key and drive job!
    
    Watch this space! Pm me for details!

    Top stuff.
    
    I think alot of people think you can keep addin power with no problems but like you just stated, power comes with a price.
    
    Good to hear from some who has gone through all the motions to keep something like that going. Post some pic's of the engine bay love to see hoe it looks.
