    What car/engine combination?

    Only one place actively offers 20v conversions and that's in Canberra.

    Unhappy

    There are a few bolt on supercharger kits that you can get but they are $$$ and mostly in the USA. Good luck though.

    Just turbo it (a LHD kit will be ok) or fit a 24v VR6 The cost will be about the same either way - plus suspension and brake upgrades.
