Hi mate, if you want a significant performance with your car you have to take a used sc as many have already adviced you. Else if you want some simple mods, you could change your intake air filter with an aftermarket such as K&N. I would not suggest to fit a cat back exhaust since you will not see significant power upgrade and will have to pay for around 400 to 500 pounds. Get a set of lower springs and maybe a set of arbs. You will enjoy your ride more and you will have a significant change in the noise after 4000rpm with the filter. Also change your pads with mintex or ebc and you will also have a better braking. If you manage to save another grand and you do not find a supercharger since they are very rear and get hold of very fast, you can try the light turbo option. They are a few members that have already taken this route and they do not have problems with the reliability and are happy with the performance.
thanks mate!...i will be saving another 1k then...and how much approx am i looking for labour costs? and what car is the sc coming off? cause im pretty sure that is200 or 300 never came charged?

How much is a SC and will it work on my car regardless of it being Auto?...also how much to fit it? And why is a full exhaust better than a SC?

ok well when i get to the 2k mark ill post it up and maybe someone can tell me where to look...i think it really needs some more power...i had a tdi golf before and the torque on that was immense...i know i could never duplicate that with a petrol but still, i think the 0-60 is weak on standard se auto.
thanks yet again everyone! props!
