supercharger kits are around the same price as the turbos, at least some of them. If its not a MUST HAVE today kind of thing just keep your eyes open and they are rebuildable if someone is selling one. I have a vortech V3 and I got found it new in the box having only taken the blower out to inspect it. He got the kit, then wrecked the car and ended up with a different car so I got his kit complete and NIB for only $3k. Again the nice thing about the superchargers is that they have been done for decades now and finding people familiar with them is not normally all that hard for us over here. As for power gains you can get %40 more power out of a stock engine with the v3 kit if I am not mistaken. Add some heads/cam and you can get more.
for my info , how do you keep vacuum for the brakes?, I have done an old style Novi 2000 and lost all vacume , had to add an electric pump.

For tuning - Tuning Innovations, Ted Jenkins.
Now this here, is funny as hell.

Main issue for me is I’m in Scotland uk

Perfect. Want to know what a super commonly used aftermarket system is, that you can get in the UK?

Megasquirt!

There is currently a Plug and Play Microsquirt that you can get, which is FAR superior to any kind of chip tuning. To be completely honest, I dont know why people even still waste their time with chips and a 30 year old ECU design.
