My friend recently bought a 1988 golf 1.3 on book and has vr6 conversion... For some apparent reason he wants to put a supercharger in it!! Can anybody tell me wat needs to be done to cooling systems etc in order to manage this upgrade>?

Thanks...

I'd imagine that as long as it has a decent radiator already, nothing more would need done in terms of engine cooling.

Just out of interest, by stating "1.3 on book and has vr6 conversion"... Are you confirming that the engine swap hasn't been declared to either the insurers or DVLA?

Twin supercharged R36 is the one to go for. Traction might be an issue but thats a minor detail...
