RE: SuperCharger Theory
the problem with using a s/c is that you need a powerful engine to run the s/c to drive the pulley to produce the boost, thats why they are usually used on larger engines. i don't think a 1.8litre engine would have enough power to drive a s/c that would be powerful enough to produce the 20lbs+ of boost you are looking for.
anyone who knows more about s/c feel like chiming in?

the s/c in a corrado only produces 6psi... panda is talking about running a s/c on a 1.8 that could produce 20psi

What about the VW engine thats in development? The turbocharger concept of having both a SC and a turbo on a small engine?
Oh and for small engines with SC - Corrado anyone?
