hey ppl sorry if im spamming topics or smthing im looking for the ways to improve my ride soo.. i have 1.6 l 75 kw petrol engine but its really not that responsive to acceleration, so i was googling on superchargers but i didnt find any just turbos were offered as a solution, any tips on how can i have family car with comfort but to be more responsive when i need it without having lag, cuz its laggy as it is right now, too much weight for the given power. it also has intake manifold over the engine head unit does that mean i cant supercharge it? thanks a lot! means soo much to me

@djape92 - You'd need to develop an entire supercharger solution yourself. Modern turbo engines aren't laggy.

 

And with a car that old it will be faster and cheaper to look for a TDi or a 1.8T petrol.

as i go short rutes with a lot of traffic turbos need to spool up and give me power, it already feels like that i lug the engine as i start even im in right gear as lowest as i can be and when i overtake it takes too much time to speed up and back to my road track, like im driving 1.1 opel corsa or something its dull i know that sized clip ring are one problem that causes dullnes cuz of compression loss but i feel that it just needs a little bit of boost after i finish replacing those so i can carry more weight and accelerate faster when needed... turbo could help me overtake at open road streight but its costly to just get that benefit of it, and using more oil for it is one more droveback which i dont like about it, so supercharger would do job for me more likely but if there isnt any to buy thats a tough blow :/

A lot easier and cheaper to just transplant a 1.8T into it, inc all the extra looms dash etc. Than trying to invent and attached a supercharger or turbo to a non turbod 1.6....

dont i need bigger wheels than these 15 inch that i have and bigger calipers, suspension correction or replacement, as well as the axles dash water refillment wiring, new ecu... which will cost me one whole used mk1 vrs octavia, which there is non selling here in my country thats used sooo if i want to buy one i have to buy from uk or something and than shipping costs and registration costs me like vrs mk2 that i can already buy here but i dont want mk2 cuz of maintance costs and i want old sleeper with this octavia that my mum bought sooo it actually is easier to just put the turbo on and hope for the best i think, or im wrong? 

@djape92 - Er, if you do a 1.8t conversion you do need to go to at least 16" wheels, and change the front hub carriers, because you need to fit bigger front discs and different calipers which 15" wheels will not fit over.

 There are plenty of VAG 1.8T cars with 288mm front discs that 15" wheels will fit over.

 

The mk1 VRS has 312mm front discs which do need 16"+ wheels to clear them.

 

Wheel sizes aside - unless you're an experienced mechanic I would steer clear of the engine swap/aspiration conversion route and just buy another car.

yeah i would like to buy mk1 vrs petrol but there isnt any selling here in my country, so i would have to go buy it somewhere else and bring it here :/ i wanna stay with mk1 because i wanna have something thats a sleeper, old car thats fairly good looking when you take care of it, but also is average design that doesnt throw attention too much but goes as a bullet.... mk1 is just that and thats the reason im trying to make it happend somehow. i ve got few mechanics that work on that car as needed but i first consult here to see if its possible, if its too expenssive, if there are some problems that are needed to adress, and if its good to do overall... but since you told me its too much work better dont do... i will stay away from it for now and later on see if things change. thanks for feedback guys
