Claymore is our supercharger enthusiast. The Eaton or Rotrex superchargers seem to work quite well. Lose your air con compressor and use the mounting points and belts to drive the supercharger. You should only run low boost or add water injection to avoid detonation.

Is the VR6 not quick enough for you then? Welcome to TorqueCars, its good to have you along - another one from the VAG stable!

I havnt done much just an air induction and an exuast never really had the money to enter the relm of car tuning.

Removing the a/c compressors a bit drastic isn't it?

@ hdi Only if you are old and like your comfort You old softie!

Adding Nitrous is relatively easy and gives an instant power hike at the press of a button. You might also think about some internal engine work, porting, polishing and flowing the head and manifolds for example. Fast road cams would give more power but the VR6 is nice and smooth so don't upset this with a wild cam profile. A sports cat will free up another few bhp.

Take it on the rolling road and see if you are still getting the standard power figures - it might be in need of a de coke or full service.
