Out of curiosity does anyone use their Supercharged 306 to commute on a daily basis? Reason I ask is if I went down that route I would be doing circa 50 miles a day and dont want to ruin a £1300 supercharger Big grin

Cheers

I don't commute but I do a few miles (nothing shocking around 400 a week) and I've not had a problem.

If you don't mind 30mpg (less in stop start) go for it.

This is a really reliable conversion.

I'm not runnin' a 'charger of anything, but I'd always say commute in a beast. What's the point of having it to only drive it once a month?
