if u get a hold of a turbo i hear its easy to supercharge it. something about welding a pulley and attaching to a belt... look it up. and i heard if u do that u dont need an intercooler? i dont know but that sounds better!

a golf gti maybe expensive to insure but i cant see it being more than a turbocharged corsa lol

and supercharged or turbocharged you really could do with an intercooler, as when you compress a gas its heats up, and as you know hot air induction is a no
so intercooler is to cool it down

not sure if its even possible but hows about the turbo from a 1.5 td, that way you could use the exhuast manifold for it aswell.
might look in to see if it can be done....
