I would budget around £4K for a boosted M20. The Rotrex supercharger kit seems fantastic too

as much as you want or down to just the main parts if you can fab your own hardware.

M20B25 low comp, facelift are 8.8cr, with a few choice parts can lower the cr while up cc's with stock parts. but most e30 engines love boost.

No, can't say I would recommend one.

Lots or just enter your pin number, all depends on how skilled you or your mates are.
