Neuspeed supercharger wanted

Jan 04, 2007 1 Replies

Interested in any advice regarding neuspeed super charger for 2.0 MK3 Jetta (ABA), specifically an affordable place to purchase.



May I ask a silly question? If one supercharges a vehicle then there are (expensive) implications to the tires, suspension, wheels, brakes and so forth, well beyond what may have come even with a "GTI" type fit-out.

After all that is done, and parts are presumably purchased for cash vs. financing, would it not be more cost-effective to purchase a dealer-kitted vehicle initially? Or is a 'pocket-rocket' the goal here?

This comes to mind thinking back to some early US-made muscle-cars that could go VERY fast in a straight line but if asked to maneuver in any meaningful way would be worse-than-useless. Too much muscle, not enough everything else. Worse (or better) depending on one's peculiar point of view, underpowered Euro cars such as even the anemic VW Karmen Ghia or Mercedes 230SL could run rings around them anywhere but in a straight line.

I am NOT criticizing. I am trying to understand the philosophy of your request and what drives it. I know exactly how fast all of our vehicles will go on a flat road with nothing but horizon in front. And I have a pretty good idea of the grade/terrain handling characteristics of the Cross Country. So it is not as if I do not appreciate speed and so forth. And there is something appealing about a stealth-fighter.

Thanks in advance if you choose to answer.
