Hi,Does anyone have a low boost supercharged 306 in the County Durham/north east area that wound like to take me out for a passenger ride?  I'm thinking about supercharging my track car but would like to at least sit in one and see what the power delivery is like, also hear if you've had any issues.

I went in one and thought "Holy f**k" if that helps. Bought a kit immediately but i've sat on it for ages and don't really need more power when it spends about 2/3rds of its life at a traffic light so i'm selling the kit.But they are fast, I would say a stock Mk2 Focus RS fast or pretty much even Track car would be wicked. ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

Apparently if you run the eaton M45 charger off a mini cooper you will see 220bhp for around £1000-£1500 and power delivery is lower in the rev range but just as quick as a lynx setup.________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Low boost starts to make a real difference over standard when in 3rd onwards. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

To be honest i noticed a marked difference.It is easily Focus RS Mk2 fast and a Focus RS MK2 is faster than a standard six by a good margin. 0-100 times don't lie do they. Clearly adding 90hp is going to make a difference ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

I'll do some searching on the eaton charger (have not looked into that one).If the low boost option does not give much benefit I will probably save the money and spend it something else in future. The car handles great (that has been my focus until now), just lacking power on the straights. ________________________________________ Peugeot 306 Gti-6 Track car (soon to be supercharged)Project page Blog |

I got spanked by Lee's LB 6 in my standard 6. Although his was around 274 bhp. With a couple of light weight mods, a good difference can be made over a standard 6. If you want a shot at the big boys, you need to be charged.________________________________________ DIABLO GTI-6 - Legend - NILE GTI-6 - SoldCHERRY GTI-6 P1 SUPERCHARGED - Broken up BLACK RALLYE - Sold 205 Dturbo xud9 work horse - Dead CHERRY RALLYE - new toy |

As I say, 3rd and upwards there is a big difference. I was chasing armzs16 last week on a straight road, 1st and 2nd was a bit quicker, 3-5th was a big difference. My little standard one stood no chance.________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Its all down to the driver really. I done knockhill with Russ in my Astor with standard engine and russ was low boost, he pulled away on the straights but i got him in the corners. Same again at donnington park when i was on track with Chris Harris in his low boost 6 and to be honest i went out in front of him and never seen him all session. I just dont see it being worth £3k but then again i have never really had a good battle with one. Drove ChrisC306s low boost rallye and wasnt over impressed with it, power delivery wasnt that noticeable over standard________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Drove ChrisC306s low boost rallye and wasnt over impressed with it, power delivery wasnt that noticeable over standard For sure. I've been passenger in a standard and overtook a LBSC at Llandow before. There is a massive difference in pulling out behind a car on a road and planting your foot down to pulling away on circuit. I can just about hang on the back of 400hp imprezas, evos etc at Combe on the straights and normally overtake into braking or exit, however if I pulled out behind a tuned impreza at 50 on a A road to overtake a car they'd be long gone. It takes a lot of HP when at speed to make any decent ground ________________________________________ 230 hp 2.1 16v XU 205 rallye on jenveys Project thread here309 3dr K20 Type R |

Low boost is much quicker than standard.I kind of wish I'd kept mine low boost but put it on aftermarket managment and run the throttle body after the charger ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

Good point about the diff, will need to look into that as well. ________________________________________ Peugeot 306 Gti-6 Track car (soon to be supercharged)Project page Blog |
