it's really not hard to do. The hardest bit is making a bracket for the charger. Which is easy enough. Give gmc motorsport a ring. They do alot of french cars but work on any thing. Prob the most clued people in the uk when it comes to rotrex chargers.

Dom H (i think) on here was going to charge his 1.6 using a Mini Cooper S charger (think it was small enough to fit without having to bodge the engine bay too much), even bought most of the bits (inc charger) but i think he chucked it in as it was going to be a right pig to do.
There's been a few 20XE's that have been supercharged, but from what i remember reading they all suffered a lot of problems.

im drivein a corsa as i cant get any company to insure in on a powerfull car other then a subaru but had those i want an evo or a gt3 but the evo i cant get a quote on at all just say we cant quote  and a gt3 aint that expensive can get them from 17 k up wards but it will cost me close to 6k to insure
so i decied to get the corsa and work on that as a project , reason im not payin a company to do the work is that i want to do it my self not much fun if u just pay a company to do all the work and at the end of it atleast i can say i done all the work not some garage ive gave loads of money to .
