i ran mine, hard (including trip to nurburg driven there, abused and driven back) for 5,000 odd miles, but with only low boost i admit and had no problems. Not changed nowt internally, not even extra HG. (and the head gasket in at the moment done 50k odd miles before charging too)

depends what you want mate, i cant wait for it to be done, there arent many supercharged 1.8 16v Mk2 Ibizas, most either have the ABF and tune it, 1.8T or VR6. Superchargers sound awesome to 
well i've spent £1800 so far, with another £700 ish to go, labour on parts, installing and mapping the Megasquirt, Cutting and welding the inlet manifold, boost hosing / piping, and a couple of other service parts
woul say roughly £2.5k would be a good estimate of how much this will cost me, i've changed and bought other parts along the way, like upgraded discs and pads, new plugs and leads, it all adds up
it shouldnt blow the engine up straight away lol

turbo if you want big power, supercharger for an awesome noise and no lag, turbos are mainly top end to
what about throttle bodies? N/A power is good?

dont know for sure, hoping to go from 130bhp to 210bhp, that would be enough for me
Turbos require more parts, like a custom exhaust manifold etc
look through F2_Stu's thread for throttle bodies
