Hi , new to this site , I'm looking to be a vx220 owner in the near future. I am after a turbo or even better a supercharged vx220. colour i'm after is black , grey or what you got ? I seen a mexico blue one not long ago which i though was amazing colour. Interested in a mildly tuned turbo .] Sports Exhaust and hard top would be a great bonus. Thanks in advance Damian

Welcome Damian, supercharged VXs are hard to find, I recommend looking into getting an NA and handing it over to Joe and Lee to supercharge. That way you can also get used to the car and the way it handles before it has enough power to try to kill you.

thanks for the reply,how much is the kit drive in drive out ? could be an option.

Lots of threads, google to your hearts content. Think 3.5k for everything fitter but also budget for a full exhaust on top of that. SC cars do come up now and then but thankfully they're still fairly rare.

yeah this is a more realistic option ill go for just waiting for one i like to pop up :/

[Bumblebee]

Have you been in both s/c and turbo? I'd go for the one you want in the first place otherwise you'll always have it on your mind

[Vanquish91]

not been in a SC no but heard nothing but good and would be great to own a super rare car.

[Bumblebee]

I presume that's your Astra in your pic? Both cars are good,id have both if I could but I must admit I like the extra torque the tubby has

[Vanquish91]

yeah i'm a big fan of torque! yeah thats for sale to make way for a vx220 cannot wait!

Good luck with your search, hope you find what your looking for

[rob999]

Just try both...well take a pax in both. Best advice so you've experienced both.

Welcome to the forum. What budget do you have and how much is yours up for?

This forum has a bit of a hard-on for supercharged cars so you won't hear much bad - the perpetrator would be burnt as a witch. Really theres nothing much to choose between a stg 2 SC and a stg 2 turbo. I've had both. As I've said before Turbo for the road its more polished Either for a dry track, SC for a wet track. The NA also has its strengths!!

turbo is also factory whereas supercharged are tooners or shed conversions.
