Then engine and the suspension are exactly the same as the TT. But no, the supercharger doesnt fit withen the engine bay of a TT. I dont remember for what reason, but it doesnt fit.

My friend who owns an VW R32 told me that its the same engine found in teh AUdi TT. Is this true?
If thats the case, are there any VF Superchargers etc. for the TT?

The key difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger is its power supply. Something has to supply the power to run the air compressor.
In a supercharger, there is a belt that connects directly to the engine. It gets its power the same way that the water pump or alternator does.
A turbocharger, on the other hand, gets its power from the exhaust stream.
Edit: Oh, plus our cars already come with turbos. So bolting on a bigger one isn't that much of a big ordeal. Granted you could go with a MUCH bigger turbo. Then you would have to upgrade a few other parts.

Not sure if someone replied to my question, but what performance difference is there between teh 1.8T and the 3.2? Is the 3.2 worth the extra money?
