Suga's R32 isn't supercharged, jsut has a Kresseig exhaust
Jig And Jason both have ABT Sportsline Mk5 R32s (they are UG in colour)
AP has his white turbo R32. The TTR36 motor is going into his Scirocco.
C2 appears to be the best choice at the moment if you want to turbo, or a rotrex kit for superchargers.
Good thing about the rotrex is you keep the awesome exhaust note, and dont get a big heat build up on the firewall.
I'll be looking at this route eventually on my 2.8, but to be honest I'd want to go full standalone since there isnt any one over here that remaps the std ECU's.
And this worries me with interfacing with tall the std electronics like the dash, haldex etc.
Maybe have to look at piggybacking the std ecu, with the standalone doing fuel and ignition only.
I put this idea to you.....by the time you stuff around buying/adding a standalone/piggyback system and trying to get everything to run properly...it would be cheaper to pay a C2 (or whomever) tech to fly over here and tune it, especially if you had two or three guys doing it at the same time..
PM if you are looking for: R32 rear sway bar; R32 suspension springs; Euro Headlight switches
Doesn't sound as good as an NA .:R though! The whole gargling rocks noise is gone. Even stock with no flapper sounds better than that in my opinion.

It's the worst situation. You convince yourself out of it, saying that NA is "good enough"...but then despite your best judgement not to visit youtube you do so anyway, searching "R32 GOLF TURBO", and then it sparks up all over again!
N/A would be a lot more fun if you had oodles of power and torque and you can plant it in any gear or anywhere in the rev range but it's pretty hard to get to that level.
Turbo is good fun when the boost comes on. Best of both worlds would be good with a turbo R32 but would end up costing a fortune and you could only sell it for the price of a stock car anyway. Best to put it towards a turbo car IMO.
Bingo!
if it comes time to spend $10k on a turbo/supercharger conversion, its likely i'd spend the cash on another car, and keep the Bora a little less "unmolested".
That said, i'd like a piggyback ECU + cams + headwork

Schrick 268s are the favourite for road cams for VR6's.
If oyu are doing it NA may as well do it properly, big cams (276+), and the supporting work for it. A port and polish to suit a 268 or a port and poilish to suit 276, do it once properly. And if were really keen, ITB's. Search for Gareth Spiller's Vento on youtube
