Adding a super charger is a pretty big job - it will affect the timing - you should add stronger pistons as well and you could have a problem with detonation as well. If you've done the exhaust and added a high flow panel air filter already the best option would be a NOS kit - adding 40bhp extra at the flick of a button.
An engine swap to a G40 is also worth considering if you really want the extra power.

I have a golf IV 1.4 liter. I really want to add some power but just enough for better passing performance and quick off the line. I have been looking at aftermarket turbos and superchargers like the G40 and G60 made for vw engines. I don't want to make excessive modifications, just a little more zoom.
What do you recommend?
Where in europe can I buy?
