rite ive decide to go aginst the grain and
have at my pocession 1.6 c16xe reuilt 20.000 miles ago
i want to super charge it i no it not gonna be easy to do and that yea its gonna take a while to do
so far i have found
intercooler
rotex supercharger
low comp pistons
better gaskets
and bigger alternoator
more parts to come
my question is has any one done a 1.6 c16xe gsi if so wat problems did you have
my main problem will be mountin the charger in line with the pulley
wat sort of power am expectin if i say i spend 3k on it can spend more if needed
im hopein for 200+bhp is this possible
i no for the money i can get a v6 supergharged but i like how the 1.6 handles and its a hoot to drive,
been out in m8s 2.0 red top yea there fast but there also very common ,
one my m8s has a 3.2 mv6 v6 nova turbo lol its cray fast but its diffrent so its all gd
im startin work on the engine after xmas cant wait for the fun to begin 
let me know wat you think

personally would spend the cash on tb's, your get the same power, and performance, for the same cost or less, with proven parts etc

well that is different but you will have to play about with the suspension because it will handle like a boat

enough to warrant spending out on developing something that not even respected tuners have tried doing

it's a good idea used to much success by many 106/saxo owners. Nice linear power and also big power easily possible.

why not buy a car which is already super charged? or a car which super chargers would be better on? if two tuners have tried and failed, aint that giving you a idea that its not going to work from collecting bit and fixing it up yourself? just a idea
