yep i have done... again it really comes down to what can be done in my budget and what is recommended for how i drive the car.

basically at the moment i drive the car maybe twice a month at most. it's mainly used just to blast along 'b' roads and a few runs in the lakes. was also thinkng of using it for 1/4 mile stuff every so often

i'm not sure what would be best?! both have pros and cons

It's an age old debate really, supercharger power is more predictable IMO, not waiting for your power to suddenly appear...

Tim, you nejoy the odd track day here and there yes? and you use the car everyday?

i'd personally go for TBs, or a supercharger in your position, considering how the car is used

I personally love the sound of a supercharger, there was a Saxo near here the other day which sounded like it had one, that sorta noise that's a bit like an old kettle just coming to the boil when it's on tickover...

i've taken it on track once, enjoyed it but have got so many amazing roads near me i'm not motivated to travel for miles to get to a track.

the car is hardly ever used. i have a company car and fuel, so my everday car has all mod cons etc

i literally take it out 2 or 3 times a month for a nice run to put a smile on my face. i was always planning tb's but recently thought i should check out forced induction options.
