I don't know. Modifying is so personal, it's like asking a guy if he prefers blonds or brunettes. My opinion is to weigh your options. Before putting thousands of $$$ into a Golf, have a look at what else is out there that is purpose built with performance in mind. For example: two performance bargains IMO are the Honda Civic Si and the Mazda RX8. Both cars seem to require very little modification as they're both very fast out of the box. There is also the option of buying another Porsche. At that point I'd look at an SC or later Carrera, which really require no modification.

It's a hard call - I know it. You want to play with what you have. But sometimes what you have just isn't up to the task of a car built exclusively for performance driving.

FWIW , I wouldn't install any after market supercharger on a car I owned, simply because it isn't OEM (unless specified and backed by a factory warranty). So if you align yourself with my thinking in that regard, you've already limited yourself as far as your Golf is concerned.
