was having a look at one of the uk tuners and noticed this thing:

resulting in:

reckon any company over here do that kinda stuff if parts were imported?

Astra G 2.2 16v Supercharger Conversion - Price from £5950.00. 240+ bhp and 230+ lb ft torque. Requires Full Sports Exhaust System (we have used a 2.5" system from manifold to the tailbox with the pre-cat removed on our car).

i know a turbo car is cheaper, just asking the question

for GBP 6000 you could buy a whole astra SRi car...

LOL everything is so overpriced in the UK

you could probably get a supercharger from CAPA and get a custom conversion for cheaper than that.

just looked up XE.com.... 6,000.00 GBP = 12,618.48 AUD

Add a few hundred pounds for postage, and good luck with the customs tax as well.

Add the piggyback ecu you will need for tuning...possibly injectors...then the exhaust..then the labor...

it would be a nice car to have, but take it from me, sinking that much money into a car, you had better LOVE the car an plan on keeping it for years unless yu are happy to lose significant money on it all...

could almost buy BR's car for that money too

[oneightoo]

or just buy blueravens.. it comes with something better than that supercharger..

[Calibrated]

that kit alone is more than my cali

I say if you have the money..go for it! be different! and enjoy a "no lag" performance that sounds like a jet.

[Wraith]

Yeh, great to have, but definitely source and get it done locally if you really wanted that combination...

Not only will it be cheaper, but if you have any problems (and most likely you will) you can always go back to the source to have it looked at or repaired !!

i currently have no plans to do anything like this

was just wondering it anyone in aus would try something this bold

i'd rather buy BR's car than do get something like this done too, but thats unfortunately not an option for me at the moment
